Total Reliability

Dear Readers,

            For the next six weeks we will embark on a slow stroll through the events leading up to the birth of Christ and the few days following. We will not cover every aspect of the Advent Story, but rather we will take time to read carefully and perhaps notice a few new things along the way. Our goal is deep thought, reflection, and introspection of our lives as a result of the wondrous birth of our Lord.

            Each day we will look at only a few verses, or some days only a single verse. Notice the Who? What? Where? When? and How? that might apply to each passage. You might ask yourself why the text was important then? and why it is important now? My commentary will be noticeably brief; the goal, as noted above, is personal thought, reflection and introspection. Blessings to you as we journey through the Advent Season together.

 

Week 1/Day 5, Friday

Luke 1:36-37  Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.

             God’s Word is reliable. What he says he will do; he will do. Our problem is the tendency to want to arrange God’s time schedule for him. Our problem is also the tendency to say something and not really mean it; or worse, promise to do something and never get around to doing it. Those problems do not exist for God. He is totally reliable. God’s Word does not fail.

Prayer Suggestion:  Thank God that you can count on the reliability of his Word. Ask forgiveness for the times you have attempted to arrange his timing to suit yours.
