The Bible Year
This week we finish Deuteronomy and read the book of Joshua. Joshua is commissioned by Moses to lead the people into the Promised Land. He leads them across the Jordan River, collapses the walls of Jericho and destroys wicked kings, people and pagan practices as they go. There are definitely a lot of battles in the book and courage in the face of enemies is certainly a major theme. But as the author of “The Bible Year” points out “…courage must be tempered with good judgment and especially by faithfulness and humility…God calls us in Joshua to face our future without fear, not so that we may conquer, but so that we may obey and follow God without reservation.”
Haven’t bought your book yet? Here are the 8th week’s readings. And feel free to start this week if you want to be a part of this exciting journey.
