Soon after the land was divided among the tribes, the Levites reminded Joshua and the leaders of Israel that Moses had told them to give the Levites cities. Joshua 21 gives an account of what cities and suburbs were allotted to them. God wanted them scattered amongst all the tribes to help keep Him and his laws in the forefront of their minds at all times. Though it took some time because of the disobedience of the Israelites, God had fulfilled his promise to give the land he swore to their fathers to give them, and now they were able to rest from their striving and fighting. Everything he told them had come to pass. Some of the promises that Christ-followers are given include eternal life, peace, joy, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Other things manifest because we believe in Jesus, such as spiritual gifts and the fruits of the Spirit. We are a blessed people because of our Savior, Jesus Christ. His promises are trustworthy and true.
There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. Joshua 21:45
