Day 141  God says “Yes;”  I Say “Amen”

Psalm 89:34 NIV

I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.

To God the covenant is a very serious thing.  After all, He gave His Son to die and shed blood in order to seal that covenant with us.  So when God makes a promise, it is a covenant promise.

I heard a great teaching on the following scripture that made me realize my part in the promise.

2 Corinthians 1:20 NIV

 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.

God makes a promise to us and we are the ones that agree with that by saying, “Amen.”

Here’s an example of a promise:

Psalm 68:19 NIV

 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

We can read over those words or we can stop and say, “Father, thank You that You daily bear my burdens.  Whatever is a burden to me today, You are bearing it for me.”

In thanking God for His promise, we are saying, “Amen, God!  I agree with You and I thank You that You are doing that in my life.”

Here’s another:

Philippians 4:19 NIV

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

There’s the promise.  Here is what our response should be:  “Father, thank You that You promise to meet all of my needs according to the riches of Your glory in Christ Jesus.”

We must embrace the promise and receive it as personal to us.  When He says, “I will never leave you for forsake you,” (Hebrews 13: 5b), we must say, “Thank You Father for Your promise never to leave me.  Even though I feel very alone right now, I know that You are with me.”

In are original scripture from today it says, “I will not violate My covenant.”  In other words, whatever I have given you through the cross belongs to you.  If you say “Amen, I receive it,” it is yours!
