Today’s Promise
December 10, 2025
God’s Plan for Christmas
For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
The Christmas Promise
If you are like me, I love the Christmas season. Today, through Christmas Day, we will be focusing on the promises of Christmas and what they mean to us.
God had a plan from the moment Adam and Eve brought sin into the world. Their rebellion and disobedience were no surprise to the creator God. He promised, right in the garden, that One would come who would crush the head of Satan and restore what sin had destroyed.
The prophet Isaiah echoed God’s words in the garden with new details of who this person would be. God would send a child that would bring the peace He had promised. For hundreds of years, the people of God waited and longed for the appearance of this child. Though they could not see it, God was working to bring about His plan of salvation to the world.
God is Not Surprised
God is not surprised by the events in your life. He is not surprised by your sin or disobedience. He is not surprised when you stray from your walk with Him, and He is not surprised when you face problems and difficulties.
The birth of Jesus fulfilled God’s plan that began long before Adam and Eve ever needed a Savior. His answer to the problem of sin began long before they sinned.
The God who promised redemption through a baby born in a manger has promised forgiveness and restoration to you. You may not see it, but God is working behind the scenes to bring His plan into your life.
God has a perfect plan for you and is working to fulfill that plan. He is restoring in you all that sin has destroyed.
Look at the promise again.
For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6
Make this confession.
- Jesus’ birth was the fulfillment of God’s perfect plan.
- Jesus brought salvation and redemption to my life.
- God is never surprised by my actions or the problems I face.
- He is working to bring about His plan in my life.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
The promise of Christmas is that God had a plan of restoration from the very beginning of time. The baby in a manger would fulfill the promise of freedom and restoration from the devastating power of sin. God’s promise to you is that the same Jesus born in a manger will bring freedom and restoration to your life today.

God has let me live my life, and every time I fell He was there to pick me up and show me the way to a better life. That life was to be found in that baby in the manger, Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Our LORD is soooooooooo MAGNIFICENT, HE had the plan before Adam and Eve sinned. HIS HEART is for everyone single person to know HIM personally. HE desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance. That’s what should motive us to reach the Lost. GOD is soooooooooo Gooooooood to me. His LOVE, His protection, His Grace, His mercy.
