Our "Yes" Face

He said: "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my Savior.  My God is my rock.  I can run to him for safety.  He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender and my place of safety.  The Lord saves me from those who want to harm me.” – 2 Samuel 22:2-3 (NCV)

 

How is God your rock?  Do you run to God for safety?  How have you witnessed God saving you from those who would do you harm?  What is life like when you rely on God in this way? 

 

The following story was told by Chuck Swindoll:

During Thomas Jefferson's presidency he and a group of travelers were crossing a river that had overflowed its banks. Each man crossed on horseback fighting for his life. A lone traveler watched the group traverse the treacherous river and then asked President Jefferson to take him across. The president agreed without hesitation, the man climbed on, and the two made it safely to the other side of the river where somebody asked him: "Why did you select the President to ask this favor?" The man was shocked, admitting he had no idea it was the President of the United States who had carried him safely across. "All I know," he said, "is that on some of your faces was written the answer 'No' and on some of them was the answer 'Yes.' His was a 'Yes' face."

 

Those who know that God is their rock always have a “Yes” face!  Life throws many things our way.  When bad things happen some react with fear, and others know that they can run to God for safety, for He is their Savior.  When we know God in this way others will say of us,  “All I know is that on your face is written the answer ‘Yes.’”

With hope and joy,
