Joshua 14:9  “So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’” (NIV)

Joshua 14:13, 14  Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly. (NIV)

Joshua 17:3-6  Now Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons but only daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They went to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our relatives.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to the Lord’s command. Manasseh’s share consisted of ten tracts of land besides Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan, because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an inheritance among the sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh. (NIV)

Promises made; promises kept. 

Joshua made sure his old friend Caleb received what God had promised him forty years earlier. Joshua also made sure Zelophehad’s daughters got what was promised to them. 

This is the way God works. He keeps his promises. 

Joshua said it this way in Joshua 21:45:

“Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.”

God never fails. He can do anything but fail. Promises made are promises kept. 

This is why Solomon could record what we know as Proverbs 3:5, 6:

Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for GOD’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
(The Message)

Our trustworthy God is the rock on which we stand. He is the refuge we run to when we are afraid. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I will trust God.

Our Father, thank you for being forever trustworthy and true. Thank you that we can depend on you. Thank you for keeping all your promises. Amen.
