God Always Keeps His Word
"But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet." - Matthew 1:20, 22
God’s promises stretch across centuries. Long before Jesus was born, God spoke through prophets about a Messiah who would come, a Savior who would redeem, a King who would reign forever. Generations passed. Empires rose and collapsed. People waited and wondered if God would still do what He said. When the time was right, the promise took on flesh. The birth of Jesus was not a sudden idea. It was the fulfillment of a Word spoken long before anyone alive had taken their first breath.
The birth of Jesus proves something your heart needs to remember. God does not forget what He says. Every detail surrounding Jesus’ birth had already been written in Scripture. The place, the lineage, the manner of His birth, even the mission He would carry out. None of it happened by chance. Each part unfolded exactly the way God promised. The Christmas season is many things, but at its core, it is evidence that God always finishes what He starts.
That truth should shape how you see the promises spoken over your own life. God has not changed. The same God who guided prophecy into fulfillment is the God guiding your story. Delays do not intimidate Him. Opposition does not stop Him. Silence does not mean He has stepped away. He is working with the same precision and faithfulness He displayed in Bethlehem.
Consider the moments when you have doubted His timing. Think about the prayers that seemed to sit unanswered. Look at the seasons where you felt forgotten. In each one, God was still moving. His promises do not expire, and His Word does not return empty. What He speaks, He completes. What He begins, He brings to its intended end.
If God fulfilled every prophecy concerning Christ, He will keep every promise He has made to you. Never measure His faithfulness by what you feel in the moment. Anchor your confidence in what He has already done. The manger and the empty tomb stand as permanent proof that His Word is unshakeable. Trust Him. His promises are still in motion.
