Sometime between 701 and 681 BC, the prophet Isaiah predicted the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14) Seven hundred years later, a young virgin named Mary gave birth to the Son of God.

A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he. Deuteronomy 32:4

As amazing as it is, Christians shouldn’t be surprised when Bible prophecies come true. When God makes a promise, He keeps it. As today’s verse points out, He is a God of faithfulness. You can count on the Lord to do what He says. He will never leave or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). He will give you strength (Psalm 89:21). He will work things out for good (Romans 8:28). He grants new life through Christ (II Corinthians 5:17).

God also promises to heal the nation (II Chronicles 7:14). Do you genuinely believe your Heavenly Father always keeps His word? Be sure to live your life that way. Then pray today your words and deeds will reflect your trust in a faithful God. Ask Him to heal this nation as His people seek Him, and prove to those in political office how just and upright He is.
