Today's Reading

Joshua today has two sections I love. The first is God's promise that He Himself will be the allotment for the priestly tribe. The second is the faith and reward of Caleb after all those year.

Notice Jesus' words in Luke about persistent faith and about humility. We need to have both. Be very cautious about answering arrogance with arrogance.

Psalms: 8 I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying,
for he speaks peace to his faithful people.
But let them not return to their foolish ways.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
so our land will be filled with his glory.
'Nuff said!

I think about Sam Walton who, as a billionaire, drove his old beat-up Ford pickup when he could have driven anything. That's what Proverbs brings to mind.

My heart is lifted up by today's reading. How about yours?
