JOSHUA 14-15:
Yesterday in Joshua we heard an inventory of
the kings conquered so far and details about the allotments of land
for the 2 1/2 tribes east of the Jordan.
PSALM 73:
This
is one of my favorite psalms because it speaks to an intellectual
problem that so often bothers me. The turning point is verse 17 in
this poem by Asaph.
ACTS 23b:
Paul
before the council cried out words that divided the council,
“Brothers, I am a Pharisee, as were my ancestors! And I am on trial
because my hope is in the resurrection of the dead!” Note that no
one said, “But who says that Jesus has risen from the dead?!” The
leaders could produce no proof that Jesus had not risen from the
dead, and this fact also refuted the teaching of their sect, the
sect of the Sadducees. So the resurrection of Jesus touched a very
raw nerve for them. In the night, Jesus came personally to
encourage Paul.
GNT Translation
notes:
Ps.
73:26 My mind and my body may grow weak,
but
[You, O my God, are//God is] my strength;
[You
are//he is] all I ever need.
28
But as for me, how wonderful to be near [You, O]
God,
to find protection with [You,] the Sovereign
Lord
and to proclaim all that [You have//he has]
done!
