Luke 1:32

“He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."’

I love this verse because it recounts the promises and prophesies of God about Jesus. It reminds us that He will come from the house and line of David and that He will be the ruler of the house of Jacob forever! It recounts and reminds us that God’s promised Messiah was truly to come.

In my daily life today, it will give me great comfort and assurance to be reminded of the sovereign plans of God. Even when I don’t understand how the promises all throughout God’s Word will come to pass, I can believe in faith that they will! Just as for generations, men like Jacob, Abraham, and David were told that a Messiah would come and set the people of free…they never saw it in their lifetime. But, they believed in God and placed their faith in Him and His promises! Hebrews 11:13-16 tells us…

“All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.”

Today’s verses remind me of the wonderful promises of God filling His Word. There are so many things that I have not seen come to pass in my own lifetime yet…but I live by faith that if God promises them it will happen…through the gift of Jesus Christ all things are possible for those who believe!
