All came to pass

Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass. – Joshua 21v45

God does what He says He will do. He always keeps His promises. We can always trust what He says. He sets that pattern all through His word.

Can you imagine serving a capricious God whom we could never trust? Can you imagine serving a God who did not do what He said He would do? A huge major of our faith comes from the fact that God does what He says He will do.

When word first came that Israel were to occupy Canaan it must have seemed almost impossible. 10 of the 12 spies sent on the reconnaissance mission thought so. Only Joshua and Caleb believed God could do it. It was so bad that that whole nation was persuaded that it could not be done.

Yet Joshua and Caleb were proven right. At the end God did not fail in one single word that He spoke. He did what he said He would do.

There are times in our lives when getting through them seems as impossible as conquering Canaan. There are times when the giants are so strong and the mountains so tall that we are tempted to say ‘there is no way.’

God has not changed. He does what He says He will do. His promises are sure. He will not fail one good thing that He has promised.
