[The Glory Unveiled]
“For no word from God will ever fail.”
[ Luke 1:37 NIV ]
The words of men, both great and small fail. There were prophets and influential people who prophesied or predicted that something was going to happen but never did. It has become so very easy not to trust the words of people because of their unreliability. People are free to say whatever they want to say. But the power to make those sayings come to pass resides with none. Our anchor text is the word of an Angel to Mary. God is not a man. He is capable of backing all His words and guiding them into fulfillment. Immediately a word leaves the mouth of God, the word by itself is fulfillment because God’s word will never fail. That is the truth, whether we believe it or not. And that is where the challenge sometimes come from. The word of God will not fail, but sometimes the agents to whom these words are spoken through unbelief become impatient. And then we tend to lose faith in the faithfulness of God because we confuse our human clock with God’s clock. While our human clock measures the passing of time, God’s clock measures the passing of God’s faithfulness. So that, if God promises something, it must happen in His time, irrespective of what the human clock says. According to the human clock, Sarah was passed the age of childbearing, and she was not able to conceive even if she wasn’t so old. But because the clock of God measures the faithfulness of God to ensure that no word from God falls to the ground, Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son. Mary who was a virgin conceived without a man. Every word from God concerning us will come true because God is faithful.
