Joshua had led the people of Israel into the Promised Land, fought the battles, and divided the lands. He had followed God’s instructions faithfully.
Now it was time to say farewell to his people. He was “old and well-advanced in years” Joshua 23:1 and he was giving instructions to his people.
“Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled, not one has failed.” Joshua 23:14.
Joshua was reminding the people that God had been faithful to them and patient with them.
We all know that we go through many trials and experiences. Some of them are good and some of them painful. Some are through no fault of our own and some are the consequences of our own behavior.
Through it all, God is patient, and God is faithful in His promises to nurture those who follow Him. His love never fails!
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
