Thola i AppDaily Bible Reading – August 2021: God’s Word of PromiseIsampula
August 23
Introduction
Joshua has successfully led the Israelites into the Promised Land. He is now old, and he calls upon Israel’s leaders and reviews with them the agreement God made with the people.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Joshua 23:1-16
Today’s Key Verse: Joshua 23:8
[Joshua said:] “Be faithful to the LORD, as you have been till now.”
Reflect
Joshua tells the people that every promise God made has been kept (verse 14). What were those promises? What are the consequences for the people if they fail to keep their covenant with God? Joshua reminds the people, “the LORD your God has been fighting for you” (verse 3). Have you ever experienced a time when you felt that God was fighting for you?
Pray
Holy God, you are my strength and my shield. You are truly faithful and are always with me. I place my trust in your steadfast love and care. Amen.
