Joshua 21:43-45 (NLT)
So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they conquered it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. All of the good promises that the Lord had given Israel came true.
God proved faithful in fulfilling every promise he had given to Israel.(Exod 23:31,Deut 7:24) Fulfillment of some promises took several years, but “every one was fulfilled.” His promises will be fulfilled according to his timetable, not ours, but we know that his word is sure. The more we learn of those promises God has fulfilled and continues to fulfill, the easier it is to hope for those yet to come. Sometimes we become impatient, wanting God to act in a certain way now. Instead, we should faithfully do what we know he wants us to do and trust him for the future.
Psalm 12:6 (NLT)
The Lord's promises are pure,
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
When we feel as though sincerity and truth have nearly gone out of existence, we have one hope—the word of God. God’s words are as flawless as refined silver. So listen carefully when he speaks.
