The Yes of God.


Yes.

Really interesting word.

Will you marry me?

Are you pregnant?

Did you get the job?

Are you ok?

Do you want a grilled cheese?

Are you hurt badly?

Yes in reply to each of these questions takes you in a specific direction.

And then there is the YES of God.

The yes of God is His movement and initiative that says, I WANT YOU. I want life with you. I want life in you. God’s Yes is staggeringly life changing.

In this advent season, I really savor being able to encounter God’s Yes moments in His word. I really want us to see that they are happening over and over again in the narratives of this season. Papa, give us heart eyes to see the abundance of your YES.

Consider them with me….

There's more.
