The ultimate "Yes".

Apostle Paul is a great personality. He talks about God with so much authority. He has understood God in a personal way. Otherwise, how could anyone declare such a firm affirmation about God?

In 2 Corinthians chapter 1, verses 12 to 23, he speaks to the Corinthian church about his upcoming visits to them. He says he is going to bless them doubly by visiting them twice. It is in verse 15: "I wanted to give you a double blessing by visiting you twice."

And then he affirms the same by saying that his visit is going to be certain when he promises to visit. He draws the example from God Himself. He is telling the people that he doesn't carelessly tell people something. And Paul says God's promises will not wander between yes or no. The meaning is that when God promises yes, He will never change it. Paul's visit to them is also going to be certain.

A very beautiful verse can be seen in verse 19: God's ultimate "Yes." He always does what He says. How assuring these verses are. How assuring Paul's faith in God is.

Hey friend, do we have God promising to visit and bless somebody? It is in Genesis 18:10. He says, "I will return to you about this time next year, and your wife, Sarah, will have a son." And we all know what happened. When it is a yes from God, as Paul says, it is an ultimate yes.

Hey friend, in our waiting, if we have our God who promised to visit us, it is an ultimate yes. If He promised to visit us twice, it is an ultimate yes. Move forward in your great joy. Hold on to your great faith. The God who rewarded Abraham and Sarah will reward us.

Dear God, thank You for Your faithfulness. Thank You for Your promises of visiting us. We humbly say amen to Your ultimate yes for us. Love You, Lord. May You be glorified in us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
