His promises...

His promises... never fail...
His Word... always true...

And the lesson to the sixth graders... reverberates... in my life...

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 

"Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, 

which I am giving to the people Israel. ..."

Numbers 13:1-2 ESV

He promised a land... but the land was filled... with giants... and fortified cities...

He promised to go before them... defeat the enemy... and give them the land...

But... they didn't believe... they didn't trust His Word...

They only trusted what they saw... and refused to move... even desired to go back to slavery in Egypt...

Today... I see a week... that does not look do-able...

Many things to get done... in a limited amount of time...

At this point... believing I am right where He wants me... I will trust His Word... when He says...

"...Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me,

for I am gentle and lowly in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls. ..."

Matthew 11:29 ESV

So in the face of "giant" to-dos...
I laugh with joy...
willing to learn...

His promises... never fail...
His Word... always true...

And we know, that for those who love God

all things work together for good,

for those who are called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28 ESV
