There seems to be fewer and fewer sources we can fully trust. In our digital age, the internet can become a cacophony of inaccurate and deceptive information. It has proven itself to be a repository of outright lies and significant distortions.
God is the only One we can trust for reliable truth. He is the only One who speaks with total accuracy.
The shepherds discovered this after they saw the Christ child, as recorded in Luke 2:19-20:
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
The shepherds discovered one of the most critically important truths regarding a relationship with God: things are always exactly as He says they will be.
In just two days, we will transition into a New Year. Let us remember that when God says something will happen, it will happen in exactly the way He describes. God is one we can trust for total accuracy. When God promises something, He will always prove faithful. Let us rejoice in that truth this day, and every day.
