HE never fails

Joshua 21: ⁴³ So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. ⁴⁴ The Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Not one of their enemies withstood them; the Lord gave all their enemies into their hands. ⁴⁵ Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.

============

Looking back on several times in which I have cried out to GOD, I realize HE has always been there for me. Through robberies, violence, abandonment, slander and prejudice, GOD was right there protecting me. Personally I don’t see why HE does what HE does.

• GOD keeps HIS promises to me even when I sin.
• GOD keeps HIS promises to me even when I don’t trust HIM.
• GOD keeps HIS promises to me even when I blame HIM for the mess I got myself in.

I can’t pinpoint an individual situation that would illustrate a lesson I’ve learned about trusting GOD. All I know is GOD brought me through some very difficult times which leads me to trust HIM more. I mean, at some point I have to grow up and truly trust HIM.

• GOD said to me “I will bless you.”
• GOD said to me “I have a plan for you to prosper, not to harm you.”
• GOD says to me “I will give you hope.”

GOD knows the turmoil I will face on this earth. HE is the one who cursed it so HE knows I will have battles. BUT GOD wants me to rest. HE desires that I have peace. HE cherishes my relationship with HIM so HE keeps HIS promises with me.

• Do you know GOD has a wonderful plan for you?
• Can you believe HE wants you to prosper in HIS way and in HIS time?
• Won’t you look back on your life and remember the many times HE brought you through trouble?
• Can’t you trust HIM a little more today?
