Wow! I never realized how many towns there actually were in the land promised by God. After all these years, all these generations, the Israelites have finally taken possession of the promised land. "Not one of the good promises that the LORD had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass." (Joshua 21:45 NRSV)
I return to Paul's letter to the Romans where he reminds them that God's good purpose for His children will prevail. "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." (Rom 8:28)
There are times when we might wonder if anything good will ever come to us - times when we wonder if we will ever see the light of day. As we journey through the wilderness, things can get pretty tough. But, for those who believe in Him, we have been promised eternal life in His Kingdom, in His presence, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. There is no promise that this world can offer that is better than that. God's promises do not fail. It has come to pass in the gift of salvation given through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
The Israelites have traveled through the wilderness for many years. Their journey was tough; but, God was with them. Rest assured, that no matter what obstacles stand in our path, that we too will see the promised land. With our own eyes, we will see it.
"For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known." (1 Cor:13:12)
