Not one word has failed from God

1st Kings 8:56 Not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke by Moses his servant.

As Solomon is closing his dedication to the Temple that was just built, we see what he tells Israel. Not one word has failed from God of all his good promises. How encouraging for Israel to hear as they just got a chance to see the glory of God fill the temple as well as an awesome prayer by their king. Solomon never mentioned anything about his duty to the people but the relationship betweeen God and His people. The prioirty and true relationship.

I have some wonderful opportunities to share with people that God's word never fails. But it goes on further God never fails. What he promises will never fail. He is faithful even when we are faithless. He will never leave us or forsake us. He will not strike us dead out of the blue because he feels like it. He does not stop loving us, even when we are rebellious. It is most likely us who are the ones who run away from his love and think his word has failed us in times of need. But it does not. Solomon said from what was spoken from the mouth of Moses which was regarding what he was going to do with the nation of Israel. We have the promise of Christ.

I do not know how your day or week or maybe even month has been but can always count on Scripture being true. People may let us down but God's Word to us never fails.

AMEN-
