Keeping the Faith

"Soon I will die," Joseph told his brothers, "but God will surely come for you, to lead you out of this land of Egypt. He will bring you back to the land he vowed to give to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Genesis 50:24 NLT

Like his father Jacob, Joseph died in Egypt believing God would take his descendants back to the land of Canaan and fulfill all His promises to them. Joseph was confident in God's faithfulness. He had experienced it through his own lifetime. He died exhorting others to anticipate God's faithful working out of His purpose through their lifetime.

We can go to sleep at night confident God is at His work anticipating His faithfulness the next day and the day after until the day we die. We can face the end of our life confident of God's faithfulness beyond our lifetime encouraging others to trust in Him. We can die confident that we will experience the fulfilment of God's final promise in the glory of heaven. How great is our God!

Father, Your faithfulness is great. Since the days of Abraham You have been faithfully keeping Your covenant promises. You are faithfully at Your work in my life. May my confidence and trust in You increase with each passing day.

I'm praying for you.
