Trusting God’s Promises
Message
The start of a new year is an opportunity to leave behind the past and step boldly into the promises of God. Just as the Israelites crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land, we too are called to trust God’s faithfulness and walk into the new things He has prepared for us.
The promises of God are sure and unchanging. As Joshua prepared to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, God assured him of His faithfulness. The land was already promised—it only required obedience and trust to take possession of it. In the same way, God has promises for your life: peace, provision, purpose, and hope.
Entering into God’s promises begins with trusting His Word. Like the Israelites, you may face giants or obstacles that seem insurmountable. But God’s faithfulness does not depend on your strength—it depends on His power. The new year is an opportunity to trust Him fully, knowing He will fulfill His Word as you walk in obedience.
Scripture Reading
Joshua 21:45 – “Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.”
