Passage: Galatians 4:1-7
1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Devotional Thought:
God moves and works in ways that do not always align with our timelines or expectations. Jesus was born at just the right time. The timing and location was perfect, but unexpected. Our God is a God who is faithful. The New Testament is full of promised from God to Christ’s disciples. We can rest assured that the God who kept the promises throughout Scripture will keep His promises to you.
Questions for Reflection:
1.) What are your favorite promises of God? Can’t think of any? Take some time to search some.
2.) How have you seen God’s faithfulness in your life so far? What can you do to recall this faithfulness more frequently?
3.) What can you do today to celebrate God’s faithfulness?
