Genesis 21:1-7
"The Birth of Isaac"
Here, we see God keeping His word. Right here we have the birth of the son through whom God would fulfill His promises to Abraham. This child, Isaac, was the first step towards Abraham being the father of many nations. God has kept His word with regard to this half of the promise. The other half will only be fulfilled much later.
Nonetheless, we have here an example of God's trustworthiness. What He says He will do, He does. We can rely on God in every situation. After all, he gave a child to a 100 year old man and his not-much-younger wife as He promised, within the time period He declared (1 year [from when the messengers told Abraham]).
