Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
Joshua 10:42 reminds us that there was victory “because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.” Why is it important that we recognize God’s sovereign hand in both our victories and our hardships?
"We must consider Jesus. For while God will never adjust His stance on what breaking the covenant involves, He has promised us this: He will accept a substitute—the One who “offered himself without blemish to God” (Heb. 9:14), who fulfilled through His perfect life every jot and tittle . . . of the law." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
