Joshua 21:45, “Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken, to the house of Israel. All came to pass”.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book Joshua 21:45, “Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken, to the house of Israel. All came to pass”.
My dear children of God, The verse says, whatever promises the Lord had made to the house of Israel had come to pass. Today God will change all your sorrows into joy. When God promises you with His word, then none of His word is spoken in vain. All his promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus.
There are times, however, when it feels as though God has failed us. We can see in the Bible about Naomi. While living in Moab, a land far from her home, Naomi lost her husband and two sons. There was a famine destroying the land. Grief-stricken, destitute, and alone, Naomi must have felt like God had forsaken her.
From her point of view, God was dealing bitterly with Naomi. But the famine, the move to Moab, and the deaths of her husband and sons were all leading to something glorious and gracious in God’s plan of salvation. Naomi would return to her homeland with one faithful daughter-in-law, Ruth. The kinsman-redeemer, Boaz, would save Naomi and marry Ruth. Boaz and Ruth would become great-grandparents of King David, who would carry the bloodline of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
Among her sorrow and brokenness, Naomi could not see the big picture. She could not know what God was doing. Maybe you feel like Naomi, and you are losing faith in God and his word. You feel as though He’s done you wrong, abandoned you. You find yourself asking, “Why hasn’t He answered my prayers?”
The Lord may want to use a difficult season as a stepping stone in our spiritual growth. In trying time, we have to believe that God knows what’s best for us and trust in his promises “Psalm 33:4
For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does”.
When you feel faithless, when you believe that God has left you, take refuge in the pages of the Bible. Face each day confidently with an awareness that the victorious Lord is on your side. Know with all assurance that God never fails. His good promises to you will come to pass. I bless each and every one of you reading this message with the blessings of God, let the name of God be glorified. Just as God had said, that not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken, to the house of Israel. Let the word of God be fulfilled in the houses of my children too.
PRAYER: Our loving heavenly Father, as you said in your word today that “Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken, to the house of Israel. All came to pass”. We claim it in Jesus Name in our lives. Lord, I pray that every promise you have made in your children lives come to pass from this very day. I pray as a servant of God that all your word be fulfilled and let all the obstacles be broken in Jesus Name. Let blessings descend speedily upon them and make them happy.
In Jesus Name we pray.
Amen.
