Daily Bible Reading, July 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Faith

Dia 11 de 31

July 11

Introduction

As the Israelites prepare to cross the Jordan River, Joshua tells the people to follow the priests carrying the Covenant Box. The water stops flowing when the priests step into the river, and the people go across on dry ground.

Scripture Reading

Joshua 3:1-17

Today’s Key Verse: Joshua 3:9

Joshua said to the people, “Come here and listen to what the LORD your God has to say.”

Reflect

Reread verses 2-6. What are the people told to do? Before crossing the Jordan River, Joshua tells the people, “the LORD will perform miracles among you” (verse 5). What miracles were performed? The crossing of the Jordan River may be compared to the crossing of the Red Sea under Moses’ leadership (see Exodus 14). In what ways are these river crossings similar? How are they different?

Pray

Lord God, teach me to follow you and to observe your commandments. Order my steps this day so that all I do is in accord with your will. Amen.

And now, join us in praying for American Bible Society’s “State of the Bible” initiative: Lord God, we thank and praise you that American Bible Society has entered its twelfth year in reporting on the State of the Bible in the United States. We pray that the findings about how often people read the Bible, how the Bible shapes their daily decisions, and how Scripture impacts their relationship with you and their spiritual growth will help guide biblical ministries in responding to people’s needs and offer the hope that is found through engagement with your Word. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Joshua 4:1-24: Memorial stones are set up.
