Not One Word

Scripture:

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

Observation:

As the people of Israel entered and conquered the Promised Land, they took possession of it.  Prior to this scripture, the Promised Land was divided up among the tribes of Israel and everyone had a place.  They inherited whole cities as they destroyed every enemy.  God had made good on every promise He had promised to Israel.

Application:

We can rest in the faithfulness of God.  He does what He says He is going to do.  He is faithful and just, even when we aren't.  Just as "not one word" about the promises to Israel failed, "not one word" of what He promises us will fail.  He does what He says He will do and we need to trust Him more.

Prayer:

Father, you are the picture of faithfulness.  You do what You say You are going to do.  You follow through on Your word.  Help me to be more like You and to do the things I say I am going to do.  Also, increase my faith to know that all the things You have spoken over my life will come to pass.

Your Son,
Jeff
