TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
From mankind's point of view, God took land and life away from the enemies. But since God created everything, and everything belongs to Him, we need to understand that God is allowing us to live on His land, and in His timing. He is good, yet He is also fair.
Even when God gave the promised land to the Israelites, the only way they can have possession of it all is if they, as a nation, are living in obedience to God's will. Right now, they are not; but during the Tribulation, they will see the signs of their Messiah coming back. Jesus will then set up the Millennial kingdom, at which time, Israel will have all their covenants fulfilled.
God is good and faithful!!! And His faithfulness is forever and everlasting!!! He will not forget. He will fulfill every promise. And for believers, when He saves us, nothing can undo that. So most definitely we should be thankful. Very thankful!!!
