Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
What God does in Jesus is not a surprise. Yes, it was unexpected, but the “hints” and prophecies of his coming are found all over the Jewish Scriptures, our Old Testament. The holy prophets had spoken about it “long ago.” But more than the prophets, Jesus coming is God keeping his word. Jesus’ coming is God’s answer to his promises. That’s why Paul can say that all God’s promises find their yes in Jesus and it is through Jesus that the “amen” is spoken (2 Corinthians 1:20). In Jesus, God comes, God ministers, God cares, God saves, God redeems, and God keeps his promises.
My Prayer…
I thank you, Holy Father, that you keep your promises. I know I don’t have to worry that you will keep your word to me; your love, character, and kindness guarantee that you will. So please help me be more faithful to you as I seek to honor my commitments and pledges to you. I know this is important to you not only because I need to learn obedience, but I also need to develop a character more consistent with your own. Thank you for hearing my heart, in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
