God's Promises Do Not Fail

Note from today’s Bible reading: Joshua 21-24

Shortly before his death, Joshua reminded the people of Israel about how God had kept His promise to them. He said, “Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the Lord your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed” (Joshua 23:14).

This was a reminder of what was stated earlier: “So the Lord gave Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and lived in it. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the Lord gave all their enemies into their hand. Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass” (Joshua 21:43-45).

Despite the challenges they faced and the hardships they endured, God blessed them as He had promised. This is important for us to remember. As we face challenges and hardships today, we can continue to trust in Him.

So remember that God’s promises do not fail. He will do what He said He would do, and examples like the Israelites’ conquest of the land of Canaan are a reminder of that. Since God is faithful, let us continue in faithful service to Him.
