S)"45 Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass."
Joshua 21:45 (NASB)
O) God has a perfect record of fulfilling His promises, because He's not in the business of guessing what will happen. God is able to look at time objectively and tell exactly what will happen, not just what is likely or what He intends to do. The fact that God is faithful over His promises, though, is fundamental to faith in Him. If He was unreliable, even once, then trusting Him at all becomes wishful thinking, at best.
A) The beautiful thing about the Gospel is that I am now considered one of the Father's sons. I know have a Father who will come through for me. He will save me, deliver me, protect me, provide for me. God is never a liar, even to a people not His own, but the difference is that I can now be a part of that which God promises. As such, everyday should be a celebration of His goodness toward me.
P) Father, You are so faithful and good and consistent. You are my rock and my salvation, LORD. Holy Spirit, remind me of this very Scripture, when times are hard or when the promise seems far off. Let me always look ahead, seeking the next thing that the Father would have me do, so that in obedience I can see His promised land in my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
