YES AND NO

Saying yes or no is an easy linguistic exercise. Small children enjoy the power of these words and love to say them and test their parents with them. But that’s a kid’s game, saying yes or no as an adult is far more complicated and consequential. The Bible teaches us to let our “yes be yes and our no be no”. And it reveals the POWER OF GRACE to say "yes” and and say ”no”, revealing that the grace of God “teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness”. We know we need grace AFTER we use yes or no wrongly, but grace is better used BEFORE we say yes or no. It’s time to grow up. Selah! LORD grant me grace to rightly exercise the authority of yes and know. Help me release the power of Your grace BEFORE I speak.
