TAKE TIME: Reading Assignment for July 29-August 3

Introduction: We are coming to the end of the book of Deuteronomy. In the last few chapters we will read a review of the covenant between God and His people. Moses will prophecy of their future scattering and restoration. He will preach a final charge to his successor, Joshua, and he will teach a song to the people before ascending Mount Nebo. The last chapter is probably written by Joshua since the book concludes with the events immediately following the death of Moses.

Putting the Word into Action

This week we will read of the passing of the leadership baton from Moses to Joshua. One of the reasons Joshua was ready to take control was because Moses had spent quite a bit of time training him for the job. Sometimes we need to teach others to do things we do ourselves. Find a willing student and a task to teach them. Or find someone to teach you something you've been wanting to learn. Being a student is just as important as being the teacher and passing on instruction from one person to another is valuable for many situations.
