blasphemers

whenever it is the right thing to do. Many years ago, I was a coward and said Yes to a couple and married them, when deep down in my heart I knew I should have said No. The husband abandoned the woman within six months. The tongue can be a powerful positive or negative force. Now let’s explore the power of YES. Just as NO can be positive or negative, so can YES be positive or negative. We often say Yes without giving deep thought to the ramifications of that response. Yes is like a verbal contract and people expect the fulfillment of that commitment. Yes, I will be there at 8:00 am; Yes, I will pay my bills on time; and yes, I will do this or that.

YES has power to bring about great victories and great achievements when God is asking us to be a part of His mighty plans. Think about how different the Bible stories would have been if great men and women of God did not say Yes. People like Noah, Moses, Joshua, David, Daniel, Esther, Mary, Peter, Paul and Jesus the Son of God said Yes The world was changed forever by the simple word YES. You and I have the power to change our own lives, our family, our community and even our world by saying YES when God calls on us to serve. But we also have the power to change our eternal destiny when we accept the invitation to be forgiven of our sins. All we have to say is YES!
