JOSHUA 24:
In
yesterday’s reading, Joshua dismissed the three tribes of warriors
to return to their homes to the east of the Jordan. But when they
went home, they decided to build an altar as a memorial. But their
idea was misunderstood, nearly resulting in war.
PSALM 78a:
This
poetic recitation of Israel’s history comes at a fitting place in
relation to our other Old Testament reading.
ACTS 27b:
In
yesterday’s reading, Paul, Luke, and Aristarchus started the voyage
to Rome, under the command of a Roman officer named Julius. The
captain, ship owner, and sailors didn't listen to Paul's prophetic
warning, and disaster was the result.
