Not even one failed

[S] Joshua 21:45 --
45Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass.

[O] I'm so used to striving for almost perfect (e.g., 99.99999%) that a concept of 100% perfection is a foreign concept to me so when I read this verse which happens to be on my memory verses list, strikes a special chord in me.  Not even one of many promises God made failed.  This means when He speaks He really means it.  As simple as this may sound, I don't always mean what I say and that's the root of the problem here.  In James 1:19 it says to be slow to speak and that's because choosing the right or good words to speak requires time; time to think about do I really mean what I'm about to say?

[A] When I compose an email make sure I mean every word I type as it can get real easy just to type things up and click the send button.

[P] Dear God, Your perfectness just amazes me even though I knew that.  I want to walk my life such that I mean what I say and walk my talk.  Please work in the areas of my life to build me up.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
