Today's Reading

Joshua today describes the final allotment of the Land. I think it was appropriate that Dan be the most Southern tribe (if I understand it correctly) because they were very strong and their enemy Egypt was directly south of them.

Also in Joshua, I wonder how many lives were saved by the cities of refuge.

Luke: I recently wrote about some of today's passage in my other blog, Dwell and Cultivate. If you would care to read these fictionalized accounts, you will find them here and here.

Sometimes the Psalms are just raw. Such is the case today. Imagine the slow passage of time with no relief from sorrow, difficulty and pain. Yet God saw to it that this Psalm was recorded for us to read a few thousand years after it was written. Obviously, He wants us to know that such times exist and that He is always faithful.

Growth in wisdom means openness to those who give wise advice: Proverbs today.

And what do you see?
