Summary
Joshua 21:43-45 demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling three core promises to Israel: provision of land, rest from enemies, and victory. Pastor Blackwell argues that God's promises never fail and applies these Old Testament promises to modern Christians through Jesus Christ, challenging listeners to actively trust God's promises in their current circumstances.
Highlights
Not one word of God's promises to us will fail. It doesn't matter what your circumstances may say. It doesn't matter how many years it may take.
God never drops the ball. Never drops the ball in our lives. You may think, well, God's not working in my life. At just the right time, God will fulfill his promises to you.
Wait for the Lord. Be strong and let your heart take courage. Wait for the Lord. This is not a passive gesture. This is an act of dependence on God.
