God is Faithful

FAITH IN ACTION:
LIVING AS FAITHFUL PEOPLE
God's Covenant
According to the Promise

2 Corinthians 1:18-22

The Message

 ^17-19Are you now going to accuse me of being flip with my promises because it didn't work out? Do you think I talk out of both sides of my mouth—a glib yes one moment, a glib no the next? Well, you're wrong. I try to be as true to my word as God is to his. Our word to you wasn't a careless yes canceled by an indifferent no. How could it be? When Silas and Timothy and I proclaimed the Son of God among you, did you pick up on any yes-and-no, on-again, off-again waffling? Wasn't it a clean, strong Yes?
 ^20-22Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God's Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.

For Reflection
God gives us a clean strong yes. There is no question that God will fulfill His promise in and through us.  We bathe in his glorious holiness.  We can not escape His faithfulness.

Pray
for confidence in Gods promise.  Pray for the faith of our spiritual father, Abraham.  Pray that we will never doubt the will of God.
