One Year Bible: Day 122 - Joshua 21:20-22:34; John 3:1-21; Psalm 55:1-11

In all the social details of the division of the land, we must not lose sight of its spiritual basis (Joshua 21:43-45). The important thing is that God, and not man, receives the glory: “Do not rebel against the Lord or against us by building an altar for yourselves, other than the altar of the Lord your God” (Joshua 22:19). If God, and not man, is to be exalted, there must be new birth (John 3:3,5-7). To the man who is obsessed with his own problems – “My heart is in anguish within me …” (Psalm 55:4-5), God gives us “the wings of a dove” (Psalm 55:6) – to rise to higher things.
