Today’s Song of Inspiration

Saying “Yes” to Hope
Tuesday, February 18, 2025

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love.” Psalm 33:18 ESV

Happy Tuesday! On this cold and snowy February 18, 2025,  in Missouri, I am reminded of the power of the word “Yes.”This verse reassures us that when we put our hope in God’s love, He watches over us. No physical, emotional, or spiritual storm can outmatch His faithfulness. There’s something transformative about surrendering our doubts and fears and simply saying, “Yes, Lord.”  I’m inspired today by Pastor Shirley Caesar’s song “Yes, Lord Yes.” I had the privilege of seeing her live in St. Louis as a young college student, and that experience left a mark on my spirit. She reminded us that saying “Yes” in the name of Jesus can break chains, open doors, and lift us beyond any obstacle. It is an act of faith that fuels transformation, no matter who tries to hold you back or pull you down.  On this snowy day, let’s be messengers of hope. Say yes to trusting God, believing in His promises, and walking forward, even when the path seems uncertain.  Be encouraged. Be bold. Be the hope.
