Not One!

Is it time for another Mr. Knightley picture? I think so. It's been a while. Soooo cute.

And here's Joshua at the end of his life, after he has led the people of Israel, finally, to the land that God had promised 40 years earlier when they were still in Egypt: And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass; not one of them has failed.

Wow. Not one word failed. This is our God.

And you know, all of you, that centuries later, the same can still be said. All of God's promises have come to pass; not one has failed. Think them through, beginning with Genesis 3:15. And don't forget Isaiah 53 and Ezekiel 36 and Psalm 22 and even little Malachi 4. Not one.

This, this Promise-fulfiller, Covenant-keeper, Lover of our souls, this is our God. Can anyone say "Amen"?
