Insights from Tom
'a children's pastor, senior pastor,
and many times a Sunday School Teacher'
'Joshua 21:45 No Failed Promises'
************************
Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.
Every day millions of promises are made by people all over the world.
These promises show up everywhere in life.
Some are formal promises, written down in very long legal documents, promising to pay or do something.
While many others are informal promises.
The informal promises show up as just a person promising to do something for someone else.
It is common to see these promises made by family parents.
At the same time, millions of promises are broken every day.
Payments are not made, busyness keeps people from doing things they promised, and life throws a curve ball to 'excuse' the person from the promise.
Wedding vows to stayed married forever, regardless of what happens are broken daily.
Along with promises to people, there are many promises to God.
People promise to follow Him, if He does something, yet they do not.
They promise to give up a sin, but turn back within moments.
Since people are very quick to break promises, many do not believe God's promises to them.
Yet, God is faithful.
As the Israelites were settling into the new land, they could say that God had not failed in fulfilling any of His promises to them.
Every promise was fulfilled and on time.
God has still not changed.
Every promise He makes is or will be fulfilled.
Believers can count on His promises.
Knowing God's promises will always be fulfilled can give hope to the believer in any situation he finds himself in.
This can remove all fear or doubt in his mind and bring about a supernatural peace.
There is no longer any reason to fear or worry about anything.
God has promised to take care of those who are His.
As a believer, you may also trust God's promises to you.
Read through the Bible and see the hundreds of promises God has made.
Also take note of how all of them were fulfilled.
God is not like people, in which He will break His promise to you.
You no longer have to have any worry or fear in your life.
Trust God with everything, and He will be faithful in His word and take care of you, regardless of how things look.
God is in control and is perfect love.
He will never break His word to you.
I pray today that you will know the fulfilled promises of God;
that you will know you can trust God's promises to you;
that you will see God's promises being fulfilled in your life;
and that you will trust God's word for you.

'Insights from Tom'
My name is Tom.
In the past I have worked as a children's pastor, senior pastor, and many times (and currently) as a Sunday School Teacher.
I have a General Ministries degree with a Bible College.
I started doing a short devotional type of Bible study on Facebook in 2014.
I am going through the books of the Bible chapter by chapter, section by section.
I write what I feel God is placing on my heart at the time concerning a verse or two in each section.
