How much do you remember?
- What is the central truth of Joshua?
- Can you recall the three main divisions of the book?
- Who was the woman who hid the spies in Jericho?
- How did they cross the Jordan River into Canaan?
- What was the memorial the Lord told them to make upon coming into the land?
What did you learn about God throughout the book of Joshua? What did you learn about people in general? What did God reveal to you about yourself? What big idea, main application are you walking away with from this book?
Reflection: Thouts for contemplation:
Deserts, silence, solitudes are not necessarily places but states of mind and heart. These deserts can be found in the midst of the city, and in the every day of our lives. We need only to look for them and realize our tremendous need for them. They will be small solitudes, little deserts, tiny pools of silence, but the experience they will bring, if we are disposed to enter them, may be as exultant and as holy as all the deserts of the world, even the one God himself entered. For it is God who makes solitude, deserts, and silences holy.

Psalm 37. Today we pray for instruction in Wisdom. Slowly work through this Psalm, meditating on each verse/idea and sit silently with the Lord waiting to hear from Him as you work through the Psalm.
Connect With the Word 
“Psalm 37. Today we pray for instruction in Wisdom.”
My thoughts:
James 1: 5- 8 5 “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.”
I need and pray for wisdom every day. I used to get bogged down by verse 6 wondering if my faith was really in God alone until I realized it’s about trusting God and his promises for us.
So today, I pray for wisdom and trust God to give it. Period. And he does give it. Mostly through his word, and sometimes through people, circumstances, or epiphanies. He has his ways and means. Thank you, Lord!
