“As God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us…was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Cor 1:18-20).
In a world of negativity, thank the Lord for believers with a positive outlook. Someone has said that there are three classes of people: the “wills,” the “won’ts,” and the “can’ts.” The first accomplish everything, the second oppose everything, and the third fail in everything. Spiritual success has little to do with circumstances or ability, but a great deal to do with including Christ in our thinking, “for all the promises of God IN HIM are Yes, and IN HIM Amen.” Zig Ziglar put it this way: “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.”
Feeling negative? Here are some verses to ponder on, pray over, and live out (noting the repeated words): Mt 19:26; Rom 8:28, 32; 1 Cor 3:21-23; 2 Cor 4:15-18; 9:8; Php 4:12-13; 2 Pet 1:2-4; 1 Jn 3:20-21.
