I love this song. I cling to the words Faithful You are and faithful forever You will be. All Your promises are yes and amen.
God’s promises are yes. They are not no or maybe. He does not offer us something and then say no I am not really going to give it to you. He promises us what He has written in the bible, all of it, for us, here and now.
We do not have to earn the right to see the Lords promises come true in our lives. They are not a yes but only if you work hard enough and do all the right things, worship enough, pray long enough and know the bible word for word. He gives them to us freely.
So when I find myself struggling I return to this song and to the word of God. I go over the things that He has promised me and proclaim them for myself again.
One thing I struggle with often is provision, knowing and believing that I will have everything that I need. I find myself asking the question will I have enough money this month to meet all of my family’s needs or will I be able to give money to this person in need without having to think twice about it.
So I read these words over and over again and I proclaim them for myself. I sing the song ‘Yes and Amen’ over myself, declaring that He is faithful and His promises are yes and amen. And not only do I proclaim it but I start to believe it and walk it out in my life. The Lord knows my needs and He will take care of them so I need to not get caught up in worrying over them.
If you find yourself struggling to hold onto hope I encourage you to go to the bible and search out all of Gods promises to you written in there. Read them, pray them over yourself and believe in them. And remember that our God is a good God and a faithful God; His promises are yes and amen.
