Trust God that He will fulfill His promises

 . . . an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” ( Isaiah 7:14) which is translated, “God with us.” (Matthew 1: 20-23)

Seven hundred years after Isaiah wrote it down, God fulfilled His promise. A virgin shall be with child . . . Joseph had to trust God and carry out the prophecy. 

Today, we have to trust God that He will fulfill His promises to us. He will never leave us. He will keep us in perfect peace. He will forgive us. He will provide for us. He will redeem us. 

Throughout scriptures, people had to trust God in some really crazy situations. . . . Abraham . . . Noah . . . . Moses . . . . Gideon . . . . David . . . Mary and Joseph. What about you and me today, during this Advent Season? How must trust God?

We all are held accountable for all we do . . .

Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right. The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both....
