Mary's response in Luke 1:46-55 to God's startling revelation that she would have a son who would be the Son of God and her cousin Elizabeth's confirmation of this, is a beautiful expression of God's faithfulness. I wonder if I would have that much faith and trust if I had to face something so life changing or life shattering.
A few verses later, God unloosens the tongue of Zechariah as soon as Zechariah agrees with God about the birth of John the Baptist, the son born to Zechariah and Elizabeth in their old age. Gabriel had told Zechariah that he would not be able to speak until after the child was born because he, Zechariah, questioned whether he would actually have a son.
God always does what He says He will do. Always has, always will. I don't know why it is so hard to remember that at times.
