April 19


Today's Reading

Joshua, in today's passage, 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. Otondo School, where our church worshiped for six years, is about the same distance from our permanent church campus as Jesus traveled on that "Palm Sunday." It's not very far, but it contains a full range of experience. Praise and criticism from the crowds accompanied Jesus' grief over the unbelief of His people.

Psalms. Sometimes these 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.

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

And what do you see? Do you have insights or questions for us?
