The Glory of God in the Birth of Christ – Faithful and Immutable

Another attribute that one can clearly see from Scripture is the faithful and immutable attribute of God. 

Though it may appear as if God is silent and that nothing is happening, the truth is that God is always working (Jn. 5:17). Whatever he promises He is sure to fulfill. There was a gap of close to 400 years between the writings of the prophet Malachi and the coming of John the Baptist, a period that some refer to as, “the silent years”. But there were those like Simeon who knew the Sovereign One to be faithful and a covenant-keeping God. (Lk. 2:25-32)

Let us cling to this God with the deep conviction that He can never fail. All else may fail. Even the dependable may cease (Mt. 5:18), but the Word of God abides forever. Let us build our lives by making all our choices and decisions with the Word of God as our foundation. We can be certain, absolutely certain, that our never-changing God who is honoured with this reliance and dependability on Him will never put such to shame. They that put their trust in God can never be disappointed (Rom. 10:11).
