Day 100 Not One Word Failed
1 Kings 8:56-57 (New International Version, ©2011)
“Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us nor forsake us.
Read the scripture above in its entirety and then go back and read the words in bold print. Over and over in the scriptures God says He is with us and He will give us what He has promised—“not one word has failed….”
As people of faith, we must wrap our belief around this promise. If things don’t happen right away it is our tendency to say, “It’s not working.” What we actually are doing is letting go of the promise. When we let go, we lose out and then we tend to think one of the following:
· God didn’t really promise that to me
· God is holding out on me.
· God isn’t big enough to bring it to pass
It’s at times like these we feel like giving up. That’s the precise time we should go back to God and say, “Could you give that to me again?”
He would love to do that! He loves that you’ve turned to Him. His desire is always to strengthen your faith in Him.
2 Corinthians 1:20 (New International Version, ©2011)
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
The “Amen” is spoken by us!! God makes the promise and we say “Amen!” He is asking us to trust Him once again!!

2 Peter 1:4
Romans 4:20-21
Isaiah 12 (The whole chapter)
Prayer Focus:
Take Isaiah 12 and write it in personal prayer form in your journal.
Here’s a thought—perhaps someone after you (a child, a friend, a grandchild) will read your journal and realize that it is possible to have a personal relationship with God.
