Title:The Lord delights in you.
“But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among
those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to
all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'The land we
passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the LORD
delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us,
‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ Only do not rebel against the
LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their
protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear
them.'"Numbers 14:6-9 NKJV.
Caleb the son of Jephunneh kept the word of God which he had spoken through His servant Moses.
Point of Reflection:
His word says in Revelations 3:8 NKJV: “I know your works. See, I have set
before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little
strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”
You notice here God declares "I have set before you an open door which
no-one can shut". The reason for this declaration was "you have kept my
word". The fact that you have a little strength did not matter. So if
you keep His word, He will set before you an open door which no-one can
shut and where you are weak, He will strengthen you.
Keeping His word means keeping it before you, meditating upon it,
continuing to thank God for its fulfillment, continuing to celebrate it. To do
this you need to remember the attributes and qualities of God.
He does not and cannot lie (Numbers 23:19).He is watching over His word to
perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). He is s faithful God, He follows through
what He has promised ( 1Thessalonians 5:24).
Do you desire to keep hold of His promises?
When you are ready-
