Each of us have probably made, kept, or broken a promise. We know the joy of promises fulfilled and the agony of promises shattered. One aspect of human nature is people let people down. One benefit of being a Christian is knowing and experiencing the fact that God always keeps His promises. By His very nature, He cannot change and never breaks a promise. He fulfills completely all He has set forth in His divine plan. Simon Peter, the bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, opens his second epistle with a greeting that reminds all who read it that God gives “precious” promises:

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yes! It’s that time of year. The days are getting colder and the malls are getting crowded. The stores actually started Christmas just after Halloween. People, by now, are in full Christmas spirit. It is also the time of year that we can forget the most important things in life: family, faith, friendship, etc. I often like to ask people what they enjoy most about the Christmas season. The answers are as varied as the people themselves. In addition, I like to ask people about their favorite Christmas verse from the Bible.
