It's Me Again God 2

80. I Will Rest In Your Promises

It's me again God,

Thank You for speaking to me in so many ways —even through familiar words to songs! I am so grateful for the words to this song sung by Chris Tomlin and others called 'Yes and Amen' which speaks loudly of how faithful You are to Your promises and is inspired by 2 Corinthians 1:20:

Father of kindness
You have poured out grace
You have brought me out of darkness
You have filled me with peace
Giver of mercy
You're my help in time of need
Lord, I can't help but sing

Faithful, You are
Faithful, forever You will be
Faithful, You are
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"

Beautiful Saviour
You have brought me here
You pulled me from the ashes
You have broken every curse
Blessed Redeemer
You have set this captive free
Lord, I can't help but sing

Faithful, You are
Faithful, forever You will be
Faithful, You are
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
Faithful, You are
Faithful, forever You will be
Faithful, You are
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"

I will rest in Your promises
My confidence is Your faithfulness
I will rest in Your promises
My confidence is Your faithfulness
I will rest in Your promises
My confidence is Your faithfulness
I will rest in Your promises
My confidence is Your faithfulness

Faithful, You are
Faithful, forever You will be
Faithful, You are
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
Faithful, You are
Faithful, forever You will be
Faithful, You are
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"
All Your promises are "Yes and Amen"

(Tony Brown, Chris McClamey, Nate Moore)

"For all of God's promises find their "yes" of fulfillment in him. And as his "yes" and our "amen" ascend to God, we bring him glory! Now, it is God himself who has anointed us. And he is constantly strengthening both you and us in union with Christ. He knows we are his since he has also stamped his seal of love over our hearts and has given us the Holy Spirit like an engagement ring is given to a bride—a down payment of the blessings to come!"
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:20-22‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Thank You so much for strengthening me in union with Jesus! I am so blessed to have the Holy Spirit as a down payment for the blessings to come!

I am particularly touched by the words in the song that say 'I will rest in your promises, My confidence is your faithfulness'. I rest and find full restoration in body, soul and mind in Your promises! Rest means that I don't have to work or move in order to recover strength.  All I need to do is to trust in Your faithfulness. Thank You that You always keep Your promises! I believe all Your promises are true and I will walk in them today!

In Jesus' Name,
Bringing glory to You,
Amen.
