Today we turn to Joshua, the book named after the man God chose as Moses’ successor. In this book we see the victory of the Chosen People in conquering the Promised Land (chapters 1-12) and then the occupation of the Promised Land (chapters 13-24). Three times In Deuteronomy 31, we find the charge, “Be strong and courageous,” and that command is repeated to Joshua in the beginning of this book.
Psalm 68 is a beautiful song of praise. It starts with the words that Moses spoke whenever the Ark of the Covenant was moved. Some say that this Psalm might have been intended to be sung when the Ark was moved. Paul quotes from v18 and 20 in Eph 4.
Today we hear of how Alexander, the silver-smith shrine-making businessman, incited a riot against Paul.
