Daily Bible Reading – August 2021: God’s Word of Promiseنموونە

August 24

Introduction

At Shechem, Joshua addresses the people of Israel for the last time. He summarizes the history of God’s saving acts and exhorts the people to choose to serve the LORD.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Joshua 24:1-18

Today’s Key Verse: Joshua 24:14a

“Now then,” Joshua continued, “honor the LORD and serve him sincerely and faithfully.”

Reflect

What does Joshua ask the people to do? What choice does he put before them? What are the consequences for the people if they choose not to serve God?  Reread verse 15. Are there things today that prevent people from serving God?

Pray

Almighty God, you alone are God and I promise to honor and serve you sincerely and faithfully. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those rededicating themselves to serve God
