Joshua 21: The Promise Keeper

"None of the good promises the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed.  Everything was fulfilled."

Joshua 21:45

Half a dozen generations have passed since the original promise to Abraham, yet the Lord fulfills His promises. He doesn't always fulfill them right away, nor always in the way we expect or desire, but He has never failed on any of His promises.

Question of the Day:

What has God promised to you and me?  Everlasting life.  Freedom from worry and fear.  Hope.  The Spirit of God residing within us, sustaining us, teaching us, and protecting us.  Purity and freedom from sin.

Prayer of the Day:

Lord, instead of asking for You to give me these things You have promised, I humble myself and know that You are already beginning these good works within me.  Thank You for the promises You make, and for Your perfect track record on keeping Your promises.  Thank You for giving me Your grace, Your compassion, Your love, Your wisdom, Your strength, Your perfection.  Don't ever let me forget that You have already given me everything You've promised, even if it might not have happened yet in my understanding of time.  Amen.
