Believing what God has promised

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill what he has spoken to her! (Luke 1:45)

There is great blessing in believing what God has promised.

It definitely gives us hope during difficult times. It gives us hope because it reminds us that God is on our side, and he is working out his plans for us. (Romans 8:18-32)

More,

without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

So the question is, “Do we believe what he has promised?”

Can we sing with Mary,

My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
because he has looked with favor
on the humble condition of his servant.

Surely, from now on all generations
will call me blessed,
because the Mighty One
has done great things for me,
and his name is holy.

His mercy is from generation to generation
on those who fear him. (46-50)
