JOSHUA 4-5:
In
yesterday’s reading, Joshua sent out two spies. Rahab, who was a
prostitute and later became an outstanding example of God's grace,
protected them and eventually became a full member of Israel. The
people of Israel crossed the Jordan miraculously on dry ground—
even though the river was in flood stage, as Joshua leads following
God's instructions.
PSALM 69:
This
poem contains words that were quoted about Jesus (v. 4 and 9).
Those verses give us an inside view of the nature of Jesus’
suffering while on earth in his public ministry.
ACTS 20:
In
yesterday’s reading, Paul left Ephesus and prepared other churches
for his departure. In Troas, Paul preached all night. Eutychus had
trouble staying awake. And today we will hear all of Paul's speech
at Miletus to the elders from the church at Ephesus.
