Three days later, while all the men were still suffering in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city. They slaughtered every male of the city. They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and left. Later, Jacob’s other sons came upon the dead bodies, and they looted the city as retribution for the violation of their sister. They seized the flocks, herds, and donkeys, and all that was in the city and in the field. They plundered all their wealth and their household goods and took their wives and children as captives. When Jacob found out, he said to Simeon and Levi, “What have you done? You have ruined my name, and now the Canaanites and Perizzites and all the people of this land will hate me! My men are so few that if they unite against me and attack, I and all my household will be destroyed!” But they answered him, “Why should they treat our sister like a whore?”

Christians know that daily Scripture reading is an essential spiritual discipline. But sometimes opening the Bible day in and day out can feel like a burden rather than the joy and gift that it is. In the 'Everyday Gospel' devotional, Paul David Tripp provides a roadmap for readers who want to spend more time in their daily Bible devotion. Brief and practical for your walk with the Lord, spend 1 month practicing and reflecting on the truths found within God’s word.
