JOSHUA 20-21:
Yesterday we read the details of land allotment
and cities for the remaining seven tribes with their families. Last
of all, Joshua himself received a city.
PSALM 76:
It
only makes sense to know God and to be firmly on His side. As verse
10 says, “Human defiance only enhances His glory.” The second line
of that verse is very unclear in Hebrew. NLT’s translation makes
good sense, saying that God uses human defiance as a weapon against
the same defiant ones.
ACTS 26:
In
yesterday's story in Acts, Festus took his position as governor and
tried Paul. Afterward King Agrippa and his sister came, and the
stage was set for Paul to defend himself again.
NLT Translation note:
Acts
26:18 to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light
and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive
forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people,
who are set apart by [fully believing//faith] in me.’
