Daily Bible Reading, July 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Faith預覽
July 9
Introduction
The book of Joshua is the story of how the Israelites entered Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, the successor to Moses. In today’s reading, Joshua is assured that the LORD will be with him as the people prepare to occupy the land that God had promised to their ancestors.
Scripture Reading
Joshua 1:1-18
Today’s Key Verse: Joshua 1:9b
“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the LORD your God, am with you wherever you go.”
Reflect
What does the LORD promise Joshua? What instructions is Joshua given? Why is Joshua told to be determined and confident (verse 9)? How many times do the words “be determined and confident” appear in today’s reading? What are your thoughts about the significance of these words? Knowing that he was chosen to succeed Moses, what might Joshua’s thoughts have been at this time? Within your community of faith, what challenges do leaders face when they succeed someone who has been famous and successful?
Pray
Lord God, you are with me wherever I go. With determination, I heed your voice and obey your will. With confidence in your steadfast love and care, I need not be afraid or discouraged. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Joshua 2:1-24: Joshua sends spies into Jericho.
