God Always Fulfills His Word

"Not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you."—Joshua 23:14.

Say, my soul, in looking back the past year, canst thou set thy seal to this truth? Is there a promise which thy God hath not fulfilled? Is there an instance in which God hath forfeited his word? Canst thou point to the time, or place, in any one trial, or under any one affliction, in which thou hast not found God faithful? Give then the Lord the honour due unto his name. If not one thing hath failed, proclaim his glory, set forth his praise, declare his truth, let the father to the children make known that God is faithful. And oh let thine heart bear testimony to what must be said of all his Israel, in all ages, "What hath God wrought."
