Not a word failed of any good things which the LORD has spoken
to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
Joshua 21:45
God completes His work in six days and rests on the seventh. He commands his people to enter sabbath rest/remembrance. Yet, we do not complete our work in six days. Sabbath rest for God’s people might be understood as the trust in YHWH’s Word. He gives His Word to His people, and none of His words fail. This passage in Joshua stands a reminder to the people that “all came to pass.”
We cannot sabbath if we cannot trust in the faithfulness of His Word. The writer of Hebrews realizes this when he reminds God’s people that “we who do believe enter that rest.”
As we grow to trust on the faithfulness of God’s word, we can rest and rejoice in the goodness of our God.
