Thola i AppDaily Bible Reading – August 2021: God’s Word of PromiseIsampula
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
