God had promised Abraham that he and Sarah would have a son and He would make him a father of many nations through that son. The challenge was that he and Sarah were in their upper nineties. Even though Abraham realized that this was impossible in the natural, He still believed God. He did not waver at His promise. He was fully convinced that God would do what He promised. The book of Romans reveals just how thoroughly Abraham believed God: Romans 4: 20-22 “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Abraham gave glory to God by believing God’s promises. He also received his “miracle son” by faith. What “miracle” are you asking God for? The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He gave Abraham a miracle that is still being spoken about today! Be like Abraham and be strengthened in your faith. Know that what God promises, He is well able to perform. Your miracle is on its way!
The true Christmas message is the Gospel which is good news!
Part of that good news is found in 2 Peter 1:3, which says: “as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue”. Not only are we saved by His goodness, In Christ, He gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness. This means that our eternity is secure in Christ, but He also cares for our daily needs. He meets all of our needs according to His riches in glory. Christmas for us is not just a day; it is a powerful revelation of just how much God loves us. Let the rest of this holiday be one of gratitude for what God has already done for us.
