Daily Bible Reading – August 2021: God’s Word of Promise

DAY 22 OF 31

August 22

Introduction

The tribes west of the Jordan River heard that the eastern tribes had built their own altar, and for this, they were prepared to wage war. Phinehas (grandson of Aaron and son of Eleazar) is appointed to speak to the eastern tribes, stating that building another altar is in disobedience to the LORD.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Joshua 22:10-34

Today’s Key Verse: Joshua 22:22a

“The Mighty One is God! He is the LORD!”

Reflect

According to Deuteronomy 12:5-19, the LORD wanted the Israelites to have only one altar for offering sacrifices. What does Phinehas say to the eastern tribes? How did the eastern tribes respond? How was the matter resolved? According to verse 34, what purpose did the altar serve? Can today’s reading serve as a model for global diplomacy? Why or why not?

Prayer

Sovereign God, you are our Mighty God and Lord of all. I worship you and praise your holy name. Amen.

Prayer Concern

National diplomats

Tomorrow’s Reading

Joshua 23:1-16: Joshua prepares to bid farewell to the people of Israel.
