DAILY READINGS: Joshua 11:1-12:24; Isaiah 8:5-9:7; Luke 24:13-35
And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that he did for Israel. Judges 2:7
Yesterday’s blessings are good to ponder and learn from—but we need faith that demonstrates a living hope for the future too. Teaching and essential. But challenging them to seek God and experience Him personally is even more critical. Faith that is based on ancestry will grow cold and sterile. Faith that is based on one’s own relationship with God will be alive. Which faith are you living today? Which faith
will be your children’s experience? —Deborah Manera
I do not want merely to possess a faith,
I want a faith that possesses me. —Charles Kingsley
