God’s Declarations

​
Joshua summoned all Israel, "…you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed." - Joshua 23:14

Joshua spent most of his life enduring adversity, setbacks, and disappointment. And yet, he never stopped believing that God would keep His promises. By the end of his life, Joshua saw God's faithfulness come to pass, which is why he told the Israelites to recognize and remember God's promises. 

The thoughts you fill your mind with are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview. 

If you choose to dwell on God's promises, you start to recognize God's blessings during uncertain times. Plus, trusting that God will redeem your present pain equips you to walk forward in faith and keep on fighting. 

As you walk forward today, reflect on some of God's promises, and let them transform the way you think: 
  • God will sustain you.
  • God's peace will guard your heart. 
  • God delights over you with singing. 
  • God will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. 
  • God is your refuge and strength, your help in times of need. 
  • In all things, you are more than a conqueror because God loves you. 
  • God will never leave you or forsake you. 
  • God's perfect love casts out all your fear. 
  • Nothing can separate you from God's love. 
  • God's not done with you. God's not done with you. God's not done with you. 
Give your burdens to the Lord , and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Psalms 55:22 NLT

Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 NLT

The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalms 32:8 NLT 

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs."

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38‭-‬39 NLT

So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.


Pray God's Promises: 

God, I'm so thankful that the Scriptures are filled with Your promises. Help me to cling to what I know is true. Remind me of Your faithfulness. When I am tempted to forget what You've done or how You've shown Yourself faithful, cause my heart to remember. Keep me steadfast. Amen.
