The LORD gave them rest all around, according to all
that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood
against them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. Not a word
failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All
came to pass. – Joshua
21.44-45
As we approach the end of Joshua the conquest is
finished. The land is at peace. And as Joshua is getting ready to wrap things
up we read that ‘not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had
spoken.’
God did everything He said because His word is always
true. It will not fail. It cannot fail.
Jesus told us in Matthew that ‘Heaven and earth shall
pass away, but my words shall not pass away.’
Isaiah says ‘The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:
but the word of our God shall stand for ever’ and ‘So shall my word be that
goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall
accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I
sent it.’
God’s word did not fail for Joshua. God’s word has not
failed the saints through the ages. God’s word does not fail us today. And
God’s word will not fail us in eternity.
