The reading for Monday, February 27, 2023, is Joshua 3 - 5
Previously, the Red Sea had parted for the Israelites to cross. Here the Jordan river parts for the Israelites to cross. I wonder if that caused the people in the land to fear them. As I read on, it says that it did scare them.
This morning, I was wondering about the phrase "a land flowing with milk and honey." A land can flow with honey because of bees, but what does it mean for a land to flow with milk? That it is a good land for livestock?
Near the end of today's text, Joshua asks a man (or was it an angel) if the man is for the Israelites or for their enemies. I love the man's reply of "Neither...." Today's culture is so quick to polarize, which requires black and white thinking, that we could learn a lesson here. Things are not necessarily one way or the other.
