Rabbit Trails

"Not a single one of all the good promises the LORD had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything He had spoken came true." (Joshua 21:45)

Storybooks. Purpose or rabbit trail? I asked. God whispered, "Purpose" through 2 Peter 1:19: "We have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in the darkness, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts." 

God commanded Joshua, "Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them." But it would be 31 defeated kings later before God's family held the corner on the Promise Land market.

Chasing a long-ago-made God-promise, beloved? Persevere. You'll do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in the darkness until your day dawns!
