Wana appDaily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of FaithChikamu
May 4
Introduction
At Shechem, Joshua addresses the people of Israel for the last time. He summarizes the history of God’s saving acts and exhorts the people to choose to serve the LORD and to renew their covenant with the LORD. The chapter concludes with the deaths of Joshua and Eleazar, the son of Aaron.
Today’s Scripture: Joshua 24:14a
“Now then,” Joshua continued, “honor the LORD and serve him sincerely and faithfully.”
Today’s Reading
Joshua 24:1-33
Reflect
What does Joshua ask the people to do? What choice does he put before them? What are the consequences for the people if they choose not to serve God? Reread verse 15. Are there things today that prevent people from serving God? What was the covenant that Joshua made for the people (verse 25)? What was the purpose of the stone (verses 26, 27)? What serves as a “witness” to covenants made within your community of faith?
Pray
Almighty God, you alone are God, and I pledge my loyalty to you. I promise to honor and serve you sincerely and faithfully. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those rededicating themselves to serve God
Tomorrow’s Reading
