Not one word has failed

Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. – 1 Kings 8v56

I am sure that I have mentioned this phrase before because it is a consistent testimony about God through His word. At the dedicatory challenge of the Temple Solomon reminded the people that God had not failed in one single word of all that He had promised.

There is not much in this world that we can count on to always come through. We do have family and friends that we can count on, but circumstances can always arise. We have always tried not to promise our children or grandchildren that we will do anything because even with our best intentions things can always get in the way.

God is different. When He promises something it will come through because He is in control of the circumstances. Nothing is going to catch Him off guard. Nothing is going to surprise Him. In fact, when He says He will do something it is true because He has already done it. God is outside of time so if God says ‘consider it done,’ it is.

Praise God that we can rely on Him to never fail in a single word.
