Deuteronomy 32:5-6

In Deuteronomy 29-32, Moses revisited the covenant with the Israelites at Moab, just before they enter the Promised Land. In these three chapters, he addressed the subtle danger of spiritual drift, urging God's people to identify "hidden roots" of pride and modern idolatry that often flourish during seasons of prosperity. Through the lens of Moses' final song and the transition of leadership to Joshua, this devotion highlights a sovereign God who is both "Great and Good"—one who remains a constant anchor through life's transitions and is uniquely moved by our deepest weaknesses.

This devotional delves into the truths of the book of Joshua, which will help us stand in the most challenging spiritual battles against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Using the fearless leader Joshua as an example, we will learn how to endure the spiritual battle with a hostile and fierce world and emerge victorious. We are called to fight until victory!

"Canonical Hours" are a centuries-old tradition where Christians pause to pray at specific times. This practice grew from ancient Jewish customs; for instance, Psalm 119 mentions praising God seven times daily. In the Old Testament, priests offered sacrifices morning and night, and the New Testament shows Jesus' followers continuing this by heading to the Temple for "afternoon prayers." Names vary by Christian tradition: Liturgy of the Hours, Divine Office, Daily Office, Horologion, etc. This plan compiles the psalms and canticles of each day, so that you can participate in this ancient tradition of God's people.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Three of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled 'From Joshua to Samuel, 1452 BC–1145 BC'.
