As the land is finally settled, the Bible gives us one of the most comforting sentences in the whole story.
Today's Story
The dividing of the land was complete. Every tribe had its home. The Levites, who served God, were given towns scattered throughout all the tribes, so that God's helpers and teachers would be close to everyone, everywhere.
And then the Bible says something so beautiful, it's worth stopping to treasure. It says: “Not one of all the Lord's good promises failed. Every single one came true.”
Think about that! God had made SO many promises to His people, way back to Abraham, hundreds of years before - promises about a land, a home, a future. And now, looking back, the people could see: God had kept EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Not one promise was forgotten. Not one fell through. They ALL came true.
That's the kind of God we have! When God makes a promise, He keeps it - always, completely, every time. Whatever God has promised you in His Word, you can be sure: He will keep it.
