So the LORD gave Israel throughout the country he swore to give to their fathers, they took possession and settled there. The Lord gave them rest all around, as He swore to their fathers, none of their enemies could not resist them, and the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hands. All the good words which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel, none had no effect: all came to pass. (Joshua 21:43-45)
What a powerful testimony and is brought to the faithfulness of God! - Because God proved faithful to His Word even though his people was not. They had broken their covenant with God on multiple occasions. At one point they even tried to persuade someone to bring them back to Egypt. But God kept His Word.
NOT ONE OF THE WORDS OF GOD IS had no effect.
We must realize the certainty of the Word of God. He promised to send His Son to be born of a virgin and die for the sins of man. What God has promised, He has done. He promised to bring Israel again and to create a nation in a day. On May 14, 1948, Israel became a nation. God kept His Word.
And He promised to return and take us with Him.
If God was faithful until that time, you can be certain that He will continue to be faithful. Even if heaven and earth pass away, His Word will remain forever. You can bet whatever you want it.

Father, thank you for doing what you said. Lord, help us today to be assured that we can trust Your Word.
Amen.
