God's Promises

Scripture:

Joshua 21:45 "Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass."

Observation:

Just before this passage, the Israelites had all received their inheritance of land in the Promised Land.  God gave them exactly what He told them He would give them.  He also gave them rest on every side and defeated all their enemies on their behalf.  He fulfilled His side of the covenant fully and completely.  God does what He promises.

Application:

God is a God who can be trusted.  His word can be trusted.  He cannot lie and He does what He says He will do.  All of God's promises come to pass!  Reading this strengthens my faith and increases my trust in the Lord.  He is the God who does what He says He will do.  He is trustworthy and we can depend on Him.  If He treated the Israelites this good and they didn't fully obey His word, He will also take great care of us, even when we don't deserve it.

Prayer:

Thank You God for being a strong foundation that can be fully trusted because You are fully trustworthy.  You fulfill Your promises with extreme detail!  Help me be more like You and to live a trustworthy life.  You are amazing and it is an honor to serve You.

Yours,
Jeff
