The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

2. Day 1
Before you arise from your bed in the morning, I have
already arranged the events of your day. Every day
provides many opportunities for you to learn My ways
and grow closer to Me. Signs of My Presence brighten
even the dullest day when you have eyes that really see.
Search for Me as for hidden treasure. I will be found by
you.
—SARAH Y O U NG
Taken from Jesus Calling Devotional Bible.
T r u s t
I am taking care of you. Trust Me at all times. Trust Me in all
circumstances. Trust Me with all your heart. When you are
weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can still
utter these four words: “I trust You, Jesus.” By doing so, you
release matters into My control, and you fall back into the
security of My everlasting arms.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
Proverbs 3:5, NKJV
3. Day 2
These serpents were sent by God to chastise His
ungrateful, angry children for their lack of trust in Him. Life
was just not being lived on their terms.
Enter the snakes—God’s judgment for their sin. Judgment,
though, that was tempered by love and mercy and alert to
cries for help. As the people repented, God provided
deliverance in the form of a bronze snake set on a pole. All
that was needed to live was to look at the serpent in faith.
Does this passage of scripture have a ring of familiarity to it?
Jesus refers to this incident while talking to Nicodemus in
John 3:14,15.He explains that just as the serpent was lifted up,
so the Son of Man will be lifted up, and whoever believes in
Him will not perish.
The good news about snakes? The old Serpent, the
devil, and all his fiery messengers were defeated at the
Cross.
—CYNTHIA HEALD
Taken from Women of Faith Devotional Bible.
H e a l i n g
I do not like snakes! I cringe in horror just thinking about a
multitude of snakes writhing throughout the Israelite camp.
Whywas this happening?
Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom;
and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way. And the people spoke against
God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For
there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.” So the Lord sent fiery
serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the
Lord and against you; pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed
for the people.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone
who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole;
and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
Numbers 21:4-9, NKJV
4. Day 3
While Scripture rarely provides simple answers to such
questions, it does invite us to trust the God who in the midst of
adversity promises to be our Great Shepherd, gathering us in
His arms and carrying us close to His heart (40:11).Whenthe
Bible asserts that God is in control, it invites us to believe that
evil does not have the last word. A loving, sovereign God can be
trusted to overwhelm present evils. In our own situation, a hint of
how God is using adversity to mold our character came one
evening when Samuel and I were driving home from the
grocery store. As we talked about his limitations, Samuel turned
from gazing out the window, looked at me, and said resolutely,
“Well, Dad, I guess you don’t need legs to serve God.”
The Scriptures never promise that Christians will be kept from
adversity. But God does promise to provide grace to face the
challenges and to use trials to make us more like Jesus Christ.

How do you respond when tragedy strikes your family? I had
to grapple with that question when our thirteen-year- old son
Samuel was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder that
took away his ability to run. Barbara and I grieved for our son
and his loss. It’s in these moments that what you truly know
about God will determine how you process circumstances
that make no sense. At various points in our lives we will likely
face difficult experiences that leave us with thorny questions,
questions that
remainunanswered.
Why would God allow a child we know to be
sexually molested?
Why do so many couples who desperately want
children, find themselvesinfertile?
Why do some spouses who have every reason to
remain faithful, suddenly abandon theirfamilies?
Why would God seemingly take a good young person
to heaven and leave an evil old person here?
He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them inHis bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.
Isaiah 40:11, NKJV
5. Day 4
faces gaping jaws of uncertainty. The only antidote to this
poisonous threat is drawing closer to Me. In My Presence
you can face uncertainty with perfect Peace.
—SARAH Y O U N G
Taken from Jesus Calling Devotional Bible.
A s s u r a n c e
In a world of unrelenting changes, I am the One who never
changes. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the
Last, the Beginning and the End. Find in Me the stability for
whichyou have yearned.
I created a beautifully ordered world: one that reflected My
perfection. Now, however, the world is under the bondage
of sin and evil. Every person on the planet
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,
the First and the Last.
Revelation 22:13, NKJV
6. Day 5
Job is a stark biblical example of a fact we need to
understand: Even those who are right before God suffer
adversity. Will we allow the suffering to tear down our faith
or build it up? These are our only choices.
In Job 13:15,Job said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
Job chose to place his complete faith in God, his
Redeemer, throughout all of his difficult circumstances (see
Job 19:25,26).
Taken from The Charles F. Stanley Life Principles
Daily Bible.
C h o o s i n g t o T r u s t
Job was a good and righteous man who walked in the
ways of the Lord. In fact, his righteousness prompted God
to say of him, “There is none like him on the earth” (Job 1:8).
God blessed Job for his righteousness and so Job earned
the title, “the greatest of all the people of the East” (Job1:3).
Yet Job endured unspeakable suffering. Though he had
done nothing wrong, he lost everything – his family, his
wealth, his reputation, even his health. If that weren’t
enough, his wife and his friends offered him no real
comfort. Job’s friends told him that he had suffered because
of some hidden sin in his life.
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.
Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
Job 13:15
