TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. Joshua 23:14

Notes on verse:

That is, about to die. Not that precise day, but in a short time, of which the daily increasing infirmities of old age gave him notice. Death is a journey from this world to another, a man’s going to his long home. A path trodden by all men, and but once. A way in which all men without exception must and do walk. And even the best as well as the greatest of men, such as Joshua. No man is exempted from death, be he ever so great or good, ever so wise and knowing, ever so holy or so useful (see 1 Kings 2:2).

“And ye know in all your hearts, and in all your souls”: In their consciences; it was a glaring truth, which none could deny. It had a testimony in every man’s breast.

“That not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God hath spoken concerning you”: Particularly concerning the good land, and the Lord’s bringing them into it, removing the old inhabitants, and settling them in their place. And putting them in possession of all temporal good things and spiritual privileges, as the word and ordinances.

“All are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof”: (See Joshua 21:45).

Joshua is dying. He has been called to his reward in heaven. He re-emphasizes the blessings God has bestowed upon them. God kept His promises to them.
