“And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.” Joshua 8:34
“There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them.” Joshua 8:35
Joshua read all the words. He didn’t leave out the parts he thought might offend, or bore, or be misconstrued.
Lord, I thank You for Your word and desire to read it all . . .not just the parts that are easiest for me. And here’s a simple poem . . .
All Has Meaning
All the words were written
in another time, in another place
for all of us to hear
by His wisdom, by His grace
for this season, for this moment
when we need truth, when we need light
for His word all has meaning
all has breath, all has life.
