Christ-mas is the remembrance of promises made thousands of years ago. The unfathomable promise from the Spirit of God bestowed upon a barren woman, Elizabeth, and a young girl, Mary, strengthens the faith of humanity, even today.
It is the promise of hope for a barren world. It is the fulfillment of the promised Holy One who was born to save, teach, bear human pain, and lead us all to the Father in Heaven.
When God declares a promise, it will always be fulfilled. It may take centuries. It may come about in mysterious ways. We may not even see it in our lifetime. But, we can always count on the Word of God to come true.
Whose promises do you count on?
