#soap # Joshua 14 ## Title: The Lord Does Not Forget His Promises ## Scripture: (Joshua 14:9) “That day Moses made this solemn promise: ‘Surely the land on which you walked will belong to you and your descendants permanently, for you remained loyal to the Lord your God.’” (NET) ## Observation: Caleb had to watch an entire nation turn on God, say his report of the Promised Land was bogus, be judged by God, and slowly die off in the wilderness. I wonder if any of these caused him to doubt God’s promise. Looks like it didn’t. Now, after years of wandering in something he didn’t deserve, it is his turn to take the land he saw a long time ago. God remembered him and kept that promise. God is faithful. ## Application: Never doubt God’s promises. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us never let the circumstances around us cause us to doubt the promises You have made.
