JOSHUA 21

The end of Joshua 21 reads like this: "Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled." (vs 45) There are two simple things I love about this verse. First, all of the Lord’s promises are good. And second, He fulfills every one.

This made me think of my father who, when facing his own terminal illness, clung tight to the belief that "God knows what He’s doing." How often do we think that way when we look at the things in our lives that we wish were different? Can we remember that the Lord truly fulfills every one of His good promises... even when things aren’t working out like we want them to?

I challenge you (and myself) today to trust in God’s perspective on our lives. He can see things that we can’t see. He knows things that we can’t know. But if we know Him, we can trust that He knows what He’s doing in every situation. And if we trust Him, we can know that He will indeed fulfill every good promise He has made to us. He’s just that kind of God.
