The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Joshua 21:44-45. “And the LORD gave them rest on every side, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the LORD gave all their enemies into their hand.
45 Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass.”

Did you ever have someone make a promise to you? Did they keep their promise? Did you ever make a promise to anyone? Did you keep it?

One of the difficult aspects of making a promise is that it is often made without being fully considered. “Oh, I’m not far from there, I can drop it by your house.” Sounds easy, doesn’t it? But, circumstances that work against that promise had not been remembered; thus, the promise went unfulfilled. Now, other promises unknown to you but were based upon your promise now fall through as well. Who is untimately at fault? Everyone risks being blamed.

The primary message of the Book of Joshua is the faithfulness of God! Being omnicient, the LORD has no problem with His promises. He has thougth them through before they are uttered to us in the human realm; and His omnicience is the guarantee that He never forgets. Thus, if we make promises based upon His promises in Scripture, we can trust in their faithfulness. That’s how I can promise you the LORD’s salvation by faith; it’s contained in His Book, the Holy Scriptures.

Will you trust the LORD? Not one of the good promises which the LORD has made has ever failed. Now, as with Joshua, it’s up to you to accept Christ Jesus as your LORD and Savior. My prayer is that you will trust Him.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
