✦ MADE SIMPLE

And listen, you're going to lose your voice and won't be able to speak until all of this actually happens, because you didn't believe what I told you — even though my words always come true when the time is right.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Doubt God's promises? Sometimes he'll let the silence teach you while you wait to see them unfold.

The Samaritan woman was totally caught off guard. She said, 'Wait, you're Jewish and you're actually asking me for water? I'm Samaritan — your people don't even talk to my people.'

All of this happened exactly so that what God promised through his prophet would actually come true.

I'm telling you the truth — until the entire universe disappears, not even the smallest detail of God's law will fade away. Every single piece will stay put until everything it promises actually happens.
