When we say “Yes,” to Jesus, we invite Him into our lives as our Lord and Savior. And as Romans 8:1 says, Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

And although we have said “yes,” we “yet” wait to fully be in his presence. Yes, we “yet” wait, and there will be hardships in the waiting, but we “yet” wait with eager anticipation that what He has promised will be. Therefore as Romans 8:18 says, I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

So, between the “yes” and the “yet” we live for Him. There may be times when things will be so hard that we don’t even know how to pray. God knows that though. Romans 8:26, In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

What are you doing between the Yes and the Yet?
