“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.” 2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT
God is faithful and the Bible teaches that when we trust God and depend on His promises, we experience great benefits.
In Joshua chapter 1, God gives us four promises that we can lean on as we step out in faith to follow Jesus. We will consider 2 of the promises today.
God promised us power. “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you” (Joshua 1:5 NIV). God told Joshua that He would be invincible. Nothing will stop us if we’re conscious of God’s power within us.
God promised us protection. “I will never leave you nor forsake you”(Joshua 1:5 NIV). Nothing can harm us because God will be with us wherever we go.
But notice that God promises all of these with a condition. He says, “Be careful to observe all the law my servant Moses gave you”(Joshua 1:7 NIV). If we want God’s power, we don’t get the option of picking and choosing the rules we like and throwing out the rest.
Hold on to the promises of God, He's too faithful to fail.
Father, I thank you for the fulfilment of your promises in my life and family IJN.
Shalom!
