Trustworthy

What makes God trustworthy?

God’s Response

Not one of you from this wicked generation will live to see the good land I swore to give your ancestors, except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see this land because he has followed the LORD completely. I will give to him and his descendants some of the very land he explored during his scouting mission. Deuteronomy 1:35-36

Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave Hebron to him as his portion of land . . . because he wholeheartedly followed the LORD, the God of Israel. Joshua 14:13-14

God is trustworthy because he keeps his promises. Caleb trusted in God even when the rest of the Israelites rebelled. Caleb had to wander with the nation for those forty years of punishment, but while the others were dying off, Caleb was kept alive. When the nation finally entered the land, Caleb received his reward—and he was still strong enough to fight for it! Like Caleb, trust God to keep his promises. The Bible is full of promises that relate directly to you.

This Is Promising

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. Psalm 9:10
