faithfulness works both ways

Joshua 23:14-16 (JDV)

Joshua 23:14 “I am now going the way of the whole land, and you know with all your heart and all your soul that none of the good promises Yahveh your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.
Joshua 23:15 Since every good thing Yahveh your God promised you has come about, likewise, he will bring on you every bad thing until he has annihilated you from this good land Yahveh your God has given you.
Joshua 23:16 If you break the covenant of Yahveh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow in worship to them, Yahveh’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly disappear from this good land he has given you.”

faithfulness works both ways

Joshua reminded his people that God had been faithful to them. He kept all his promises. But he also reminded them that God’s faithfulness works both ways. If they turned to other gods, the One true God will faithfully destroy them.

Lord, thank you for your faithfulness. May we be just as faithful to you and your word.
