Daily Reading: Judges 3–5

Click here to listen to Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible

Text: Judges 3:10 – “And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan–rishathaim.”

In Judges 3, Israel sins, God sells them, they squeal, and God sends them a Spirit‑filled deliverer named Othniel. The entire book runs that cycle: sin, servitude, supplication, salvation – and that salvation comes when “the Spirit of the LORD” comes on some nobody God picks up out of the tribe.

Notice what the Spirit did in the days of the judges.

• He came upon men for a task. “The Spirit of the LORD came upon him” – Othniel here, Gideon later, Jephthah, Samson, same language. God puts His power on a man like a coat when there’s a battle to fight or a burden to bear.
• He enabled them to deliver others. When the Spirit comes on Othniel, “the LORD delivered” the king into his hand; the Spirit shows up, and the enemy goes down. God proves it’s not the man; it’s the Master’s Spirit on the man.
• He often worked temporarily and intermittently. The Spirit would come on them, they’d win, the land would have rest, then that judge died and the people went right back to the hog pen. Power shows up, job gets done, then the whole crowd drifts again.

Now fast‑forward to us. You and I are not living in the time when the Spirit just drops in for a battle and then heads back to heaven until the next crisis. The Lord Jesus promised a “another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever,” and said of the Spirit, “for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” In the Old Testament, the Spirit comes upon select men; in this church age, He indwells every believer the moment they trust Christ.

Think about the difference. Othniel had the Spirit come upon him so he could go to war and deliver Israel one time. You have the Spirit living inside you every day so you can fight the flesh, the world, and the devil from the inside out – not for forty years of rest in the land, but with eternal life and sealed “unto the day of redemption.” The judges got visitations; you got occupation.

So here’s the devotional punch:

• Quit acting like a defeated Israelite waiting around for some super‑saint judge to show up with a cape and fix your mess. The same Holy Ghost who came on Othniel to whip a king is living in your body if you’re saved.
• Yield to the indwelling Spirit the way those judges yielded to the coming‑upon Spirit. Let Him call the shots, lead the charge, and get the glory for every victory over sin, fear, bitterness, and laziness.
• Remember: in Judges they had big outward enemies and occasional big outward deliverances; in this age God moved inside and gives daily grace to live clean, witness, pray, and stand, whether anybody writes your name in a history book or not.

Continue reading because tomorrow’s reading from JUDGES 6–8 we’ll see that same Spirit of the LORD come upon a scared farmer named Gideon and turn him into a mighty man of valour, then watch how God can do more with three hundred Spirit‑led nobodies than the world can do with thousands.

Daily Reading: Joshua 24 – Judges 2

Text: Judges 2:10 – “And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.”

Click here to listen to Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible

Joshua 24 ends with an old warrior standing flat‑footed telling Israel, “choose you this day whom ye will serve,” and Israel standing there saying, “we will serve the LORD.” They hit the altar hard in Joshua, and by Judges 2 their kids don’t even know the God their daddies promised to serve.

Our verse says “all that generation were gathered unto their fathers” – Joshua’s crowd died off – “and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.” Daddy fought in battles, crossed Jordan, saw Jericho fall, watched God give victory after victory; Junior grew up on stories about ball, boats, and bass instead of Red Seas and walls falling down. They knew the land but not the Lord. They knew the blessings, but not the Blesser.

Notice the slide.

1. They forgot His works – “nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.” When you stop rehearsing what God has done, you start assuming you did it.
2. Then they forsook His worship – they “did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim.” When God is not exalted at home, something else will be.
3. Then they forfeited His wall – “whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil.” You lose the hedge when you leave the Helper.

That’s exactly what you see in tomorrow’s chapters: God leaves nations in the land “to prove Israel,” and instead of standing, they shack up with the heathen, marry into idolatry, and bow to their gods. The kids who “knew not the LORD” become adults who will not obey the Lord, and then they raise children who flat‑out hate His authority.

So what’s the devotion for us?
– Don’t assume the next generation “gets it” because they sit in our churches. Israel was in the land, at the tabernacle, under the covenant – and still “knew not the LORD.”
– Make the works of God household talk. Tell your children how God saved you, answered prayers, paid bills, healed, corrected, and helped you.
– Tie your home’s decisions to God’s hand. “We’re doing this because the Lord said so… we’re not doing that because the Lord said no.” If they don’t see the connection, they’ll keep the culture and drop Christ.

Joshua looked his family in the eye and said, “as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Judges 2 shows what happens when nobody in the house says that, or when they say it on Sunday and live like Baal’s crowd the rest of the week. The quickest way to lose a generation is to let them grow up around the things of God while never really knowing the God of those things.

Continue reading because tomorrow’s reading from JUDGES 3–5 we’ll watch that “another generation” flunk God’s test, fall into bondage, then cry for help as the Lord raises up judges like Othniel and Deborah to bail them out again.

Daily Reading: Joshua 21–23

Click here to listen to Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible.

Text: Joshua 23:1–3, 14

Joshua doesn’t end his life polishing his legacy; he ends it pointing at the Lord. When “Joshua waxed old and stricken in age” and called for “all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers,” he didn’t give them a highlight reel of his greatest hits (Joshua 23:1–2). He reminded them, “ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you” (Joshua 23:3). An old man, a worn body, a land finally at rest—and his testimony is simple: God did this, not me.

Then he says the kind of thing a dying man only says if he’s absolutely sure: “ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you” (Joshua 23:14). Every promise held. Every word came through. That’s what a lifetime of following orders from heaven will do for your perspective. Joshua had seen wandering, warfare, stubborn people, and his own failures—but standing at the edge of his rest, he doesn’t talk about how hard it was. He talks about how faithful God was.

Joshua’s warnings fit that same clarity. He tells them to be “very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses” and to “cleave unto the LORD your God” (Joshua 23:6, 8). He warns that if they turn back, marry into the nations, and serve their gods, “they shall be snares and traps unto you… until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you” (Joshua 23:12–13). In other words, the land is good, the Lord is faithful, and the danger isn’t that God will change—it’s that you will drift. That’s not a pep talk; that’s an old soldier putting everything in its right place before he goes.

You and I are standing at the end of Joshua’s story in our reading. One chapter in Israel’s history is closing. Their leader is about to “go the way of all the earth,” and a new generation is going to have to decide whether Joshua’s God is enough for them (Joshua 23:14). The next book, Judges, is going to show what happens when people forget the very things he just said. Before we get there, it’s good to let this old man’s words sit on us for a minute: God fought for you; God kept every promise; don’t let your heart wander. That’s not just Israel’s problem—that’s ours.

Daily Bible reading is how the Lord keeps that perspective in front of you when your own heart wants to chase something else. When you finish Joshua and turn the page to Judges, you’re not just checking off another book; you’re watching God stay faithful while people wobble. That’ll help you keep your balance. Joshua’s last words are like a hand on your shoulder, saying, “Don’t stop now. The same God who got you through this book will meet you in the next one. Keep reading. Keep cleaving. Not one thing hath failed.”

Until tomorrow, stay in the Book. 📖

Tomorrow’s Reading: Joshua 24–Judges 2

Daily Reading: Joshua 18–20

Click here to listen to Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible.

Text: Joshua 20:1–3

Joshua 20 isn’t just God dropping pins on a map; it’s the Lord preaching doctrine with geography. Six cities of refuge, spread out so a man who killed “unawares and unwittingly” could run for his life before the avenger of blood caught him (Joshua 20:3). It’s Old Testament law, yes—but you’d have to work hard not to see pictures of Jesus Christ all over it, and some pretty sharp lessons for a guilty sinner who needs to move his feet instead of his lips.

1. Kedesh – “Holy” or “Sanctuary”
   The first stop on the run is holiness. A manslayer didn’t run to a feelings seminar; he ran to a holy place set apart by God. That’s a good start for a sinner: your refuge isn’t your excuses, it’s God’s holiness against you and then for you in Jesus Christ. You don’t get saved by explaining you’re not that bad; you get saved by fleeing to the One who is absolutely holy and letting His righteousness cover your guilt. Kedesh says, “We’re going to talk about holiness first.”
2. Shechem – “Shoulder”
   Shechem carries the idea of the shoulder—the place of burden and government (“the government shall be upon his shoulder”). A man running from the avenger wasn’t coming to help God carry something; he was coming to be carried. When you flee to Christ, you don’t “do your part”; you get on His shoulders like a lost sheep. The flesh wants to bargain: “Lord, I’ll take one handle, You take the other.” Shechem says, “Drop it. His shoulders or judgment, take your pick.”
3. Hebron – “Fellowship”
   Hebron is linked with fellowship, communion, friendship. It’s where Abraham sojourned and built an altar. A manslayer in that city wasn’t just hiding in a corner; he was living inside a place of fellowship he didn’t deserve. That’s church life for a sinner saved by grace. You come in because judgment was hanging over your head; you stay because you’ve been brought into fellowship with God and with His people. It’s hard to stay proud when you remember you only got in the door because you were running from the avenger.
4. Bezer – “Fortress” or “Stronghold”
   Bezer gives you the idea of a fortified place, a stronghold. Refuge isn’t a flimsy tent; it’s a God-built fortress. A man didn’t outrun the avenger because he was faster; he lived because the walls were stronger. We’re not preserved because we “hang on”; we’re kept by Someone stronger than the Law that was rightfully chasing us. Christ isn’t your hobby; He’s your walled city.
5. Ramoth – “Heights”
   Ramoth carries the sense of heights, elevation, being lifted up. Refuge doesn’t just keep you from being killed; it changes your altitude. Spiritually, God “hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” The manslayer goes from ground level panic to living on the Lord’s high ground. That’s a good check on the carnal believer: saved, yes, but still camped down in the lowlands with the Canaanites instead of living where God put you. Ramoth says, “Why are you crawling when your refuge is on the heights?”
6. Golan – “Circle” or “Enclosure”
   Golan shows up with the idea of a circle or enclosure—being surrounded. Inside that city, the manslayer is completely enclosed by the boundaries God set. You’re not half in and half out; you’re in or you’re out. That’s eternal security in picture form: once you’re in Christ, you are inside God’s circle, not pacing the fence line trying to keep yourself from falling off the edge. It also hits the flesh squarely: you don’t get to redesign the walls to fit your hobbies. You accept God’s enclosure, or you stay outside with the avenger.

Doctrinally, those cities belong to Israel under the Law, with a clear distinction between manslaughter and murder, staying until the death of the high priest, and so on. Devotionally, you’d have to be blind not to see a sinner fleeing judgment and finding holiness in Kedesh, being carried on His shoulder to Shechem, brought into Hebron for fellowship, kept in the fortress of Bezer, lifted up to the heights at Ramoth, and safely enclosed within Golan’s circle he never built for himself. That’s not the church stealing Israel’s promises; that’s the church seeing Christ’s character in Israel’s pictures and running to the same God for refuge.

The sad part? In Joshua’s day, a man had to run; in our day, a sinner can’t be bothered to move his feet. The avenger of blood is on his heels, and and the guilty one is arguing about which “city” feels most authentic to his journey. God didn’t give six cities so a manslayer could compare options; He gave six so there would always be one close enough to reach if the man would just start running.

Keep reading because tomorrow we’re going to step into Joshua 21–23 and see how God settles the Levites, reminds Israel of His faithfulness, and warns them about drifting from the refuge He’s already given them.

Until tomorrow, stay in the Book. 📖

Daily Reading: Joshua 15–17

Click here to listen to Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible.

Text: Joshua 17:11–13

Manasseh had a good inheritance on paper. “And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En‑dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries” (Joshua 17:11). Cities, borders, land—God had given them a place to live and room to grow. The problem wasn’t the map; it was the man. “Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out” (Joshua 17:12–13). They went from “could not drive out” to “did not utterly drive them out.” It stopped being about ability and started being about willingness.

That’s how a lot of Christians handle the flesh. At first we say, “I can’t help it.” Later, when we’ve been saved a while and “waxen strong,” we don’t even pretend we want it gone. We just put it to tribute. We manage it. We keep it around like the Canaanites—useful, profitable, tame (so we think), something we can control. You don’t utterly drive it out; you keep it under your roof and call it “just how I am.” The sin that once whipped you is now on your payroll. You used to cry over it; now you schedule it.

Hebrews says, “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us” (Hebrews 12:1). Beset means wrap around, trap, entangle. You’re trying to run while something has its hands around your ankles. Manasseh was supposed to clear the ground; instead, he chose to live with constant obstacles and enemies under his feet. You’re supposed to lay aside that besetting sin; instead, you work it into your routine and joke about it like a pet. You don’t call it Canaan; you call it “my weakness,” “my little issue,” “my personality.” But it still “would dwell in that land” (Joshua 17:12), and it still besets you.

Notice the order in Joshua 17: “could not drive out” and then “when… waxen strong… did not utterly drive them out” (Joshua 17:12–13). At the beginning of a struggle, you really do feel like you can’t beat it. Later, with Bible, preaching, years of truth, and answered prayers under your belt, the problem isn’t that you can’t—it’s that you won’t. You’re stronger now, but your obedience hasn’t caught up. Some of the “strongest” Christians on the outside have the most pampered Canaanites on the inside. The flesh never complains about being taxed; it complains when you try to kill it.

The sad part is, you start to believe your own lie. “I’ve got this under control. It’s under tribute. I can stop any time I want.” You say that about your temper, your screen habits, your bitterness, your gossip, your pride, your secret vice. The whole time, that Canaanite is quietly building a life in your territory. You think you’re using it; it’s really using you. You don’t see the fights you lose, the joy that leaks out, the dullness in prayer, the way your heart melts like water every time the Lord puts His finger on that area (Joshua 7:5). You’re held captive by what you think you’ve captured.

Hebrews 12 goes on to talk about chastening: “whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth” (Hebrews 12:6). A Father who loves His children doesn’t stand back and applaud when they invite Canaanites into the living room. He deals with them. Sometimes He lets you trip in the race you were sure you could run with that sin hanging off you. Sometimes He pulls away peace, or power, or opportunity, until you’re finally willing to call that thing what He calls it and lay it aside instead of taxing it. It’s not because He hates you; it’s because He refuses to pretend that “tribute” is the same thing as “utterly driving them out” (Joshua 17:13).

So let’s quit hiding behind Manasseh’s excuse. What is that one thing that “doth so easily beset” you—the one you’ve stopped even trying to drive out, because you’ve learned to live with it and profit from it (Hebrews 12:1)? If the Lord walked your borders with Joshua 17 in His hand, would He point to that area and say, “the Canaanites would dwell in that land” (Joshua 17:12), while you’re busy explaining how strong you’ve become? It’s time to stop taxing what God told you to kill, and start laying aside what you’ve let live far too long.

Keep reading because tomorrow we’re going to cross into Joshua 18–20 and see how God finishes dividing the land and makes room for both refuge and responsibility.

Text: Joshua 7:1

“But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing…” (Joshua 7:1). That’s how God opens Joshua 7. Not “Achan committed a trespass,” even though he did. God hangs it on the whole crowd: “the children of Israel.” One man’s sin in one tent, and God writes the charge on the nation. That’s how seriously the Lord takes “sin in the camp,” and that’s exactly how He looks at sin in a local church.

Israel had just watched Jericho fall flat (Joshua 6). Next stop: Ai. Small place, easy target. They don’t even bother to send everybody (Joshua 7:3–4). But there’s a problem nobody sees: Achan’s buried loot—silver, gold, and a Babylonish garment—hidden under his tent. God had said it was accursed (Joshua 6:18–19; 7:11). Achan said, “I saw… I coveted… I took… I hid” (Joshua 7:21). That’s how sin always walks: see, covet, take, hide. And while the man smiles in the camp, men die on the field. Thirty‑six Israelites are killed, and “the hearts of the people melted, and became as water” (Joshua 7:5). Victory died where sin lived.

Then the Lord gives Joshua a word the modern church hates: “Sanctify yourselves” (Joshua 7:13). God will not move forward with a dirty camp. “Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow” (Joshua 7:13). Sanctification there is separation—set apart to God by dealing with what He calls unclean. He says, “thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you” (Joshua 7:13). No sanctification, no standing. We talk about “spiritual warfare” while we sleep with what God cursed, then we complain when our prayers fall flat and our witness is powerless.

In the Old Testament, God exposed Achan by casting lots—tribe, family, household, man (Joshua 7:14–18). They lined up and were “taken” one group at a time till Achan stood there with his secret life pinned to his chest. Today, God doesn’t march your church family past a casting line to pick who’s guilty. He uses something sharper: “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword… and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). He shines the light with preaching, teaching, and personal Bible reading. The Spirit takes that Book and nails the exact spot under your tent. No lottery, no line‑up—just Scripture and conviction.

“Sanctify yourselves” is not just an Old Testament word; it’s the New Testament life. The same Lord who told Israel to cleanse the camp tells the church, “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump” (1 Corinthians 5:7). He says, “put away from among yourselves that wicked person” (1 Corinthians 5:13). Church discipline isn’t a power trip; it’s obedience. In Joshua 7, the camp had to deal with the sin or live with the defeat. In the church age, we don’t drag a man outside the city and stone him, but we are commanded to judge open, unrepentant sin and remove it from the fellowship when a brother refuses to repent (1 Corinthians 5:1–5, 11–13). That’s God’s way of keeping the lump from rotting.

Make no mistake: the penalty line is different, but the holiness standard isn’t. Under the Law, Achan and all that he had were stoned and then burned (Joshua 7:24–26). Judgment was immediate, physical, and final in this life. In the church, we “purge” and put away, not to destroy a man’s soul, but to turn him over to God’s dealings—“To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus” (1 Corinthians 5:5). Discipline now, judgment later. And when God grants repentance, we don’t keep kicking the man; we restore him. Paul wrote back to Corinth and told them to “forgive him, and comfort him… lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow” (2 Corinthians 2:7). Galatians tells us how to do it: “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted” (Galatians 6:1). We separate to protect the body; we restore to honor the Head.

So how does God “find the Achan” in a local church in this age? Not by Joshua drawing lots, but by the Book being opened. Straight preaching that doesn’t dodge sin (2 Timothy 4:2). Teaching that names what God names. Private Bible reading that gets under your skin (James 1:22–25). The Spirit of God takes the Word of God and starts pointing under your tent: “There. That. Dig that up.” You don’t need a public lottery to be “taken”; you’ve already been taken every time that verse won’t leave you alone. The only question is whether you confess and forsake, or keep digging deeper holes under the floor.

“If we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged” (1 Corinthians 11:31). If God wrote “Israel hath sinned” (Joshua 7:11) over a whole nation because of one man’s buried stash, what would He write over your church? If the Lord started at your pew with Joshua 7:13 in hand—“Sanctify yourselves”—would you be the one He stopped in front of? And if the only tools He used were preaching, Scripture, and the quiet pressure of the Holy Ghost, would that be enough to expose the “accursed thing” under your tent—or are you still telling yourself that your sin is “personal” and has nothing to do with the health of the body (1 Corinthians 12:25–27)?

Keep reading because tomorrow we’re going to see the Lord take Israel from defeat back to victory, once the camp is clean, and watch Him stretch the battle out across the land in Joshua 10–11.

Tomorrow’s Reading: Joshua 10–11

Daily Reading: Joshua 3-6 (KJV)

Text: Joshua 3:13–17

Click here to listen to Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible.

Everybody wants Red Sea results with Laodicean commitment. We want God to split rivers while we sit on the bank, sipping coffee and “praying about it.” Israel didn’t get that option in Joshua 3. They got a flooded Jordan in harvest season and a command: “When the soles of the feet of the priests… shall rest in the waters of Jordan… the waters of Jordan shall be cut off” (3:13). God didn’t drain the river while they watched; He stopped it while they walked.

The scene is simple. The Ark of the covenant goes first, carried on the shoulders of the priests. The river is overflowing all its banks. As soon as those priests’ feet touch the water, the river quits coming downstream and heaps up “very far from the city Adam” (3:16). The priests walk out into the middle, stand there on dry ground with that Ark, and hold their position until every last Israelite has crossed over. No shortcuts, no bypass, no alternate route. The only way into the land is past that Ark and through that riverbed.

Doctrinally, this isn’t a cute little “life moment.” That Ark is the throne of the LORD of all the earth in the midst of His earthly people. It’s not a prop; it’s the seat of the God who brought them out of Egypt, and now He is bringing them into a literal land He swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Joshua isn’t your motivational speaker; he’s a type of Jesus Christ leading Israel into their promised inheritance. The church isn’t crossing Jordan into Canaan here. This is Israel under Joshua, following the visible presence of God into a piece of real estate God staked out long before your great‑grandpa was born.

But the God behind that Ark hasn’t changed, and He still expects His people to move their feet when He speaks. We’ve just baptized our fear with spiritual vocabulary.

• If God has to lower the water, improve the weather, stabilize the economy, and guarantee the outcome before you’ll obey, you’re not living by faith—you’re negotiating terms.
• If your “walk with God” never gets your socks wet, it’s probably just talk.
• Most of us don’t “wait on the Lord”; we hide behind that phrase while we stare at the river and hope it goes down on its own.

Those priests stepped into flood‑stage Jordan with a gold‑plated box on their shoulders because God said so. No rehearsal, no safety rails, no proof it would work—just the word of God and the weight of that Ark. You and I have an entire completed Bible in our language and the indwelling Holy Ghost, and we still want a sign, a fleece, and three confirmations before we’ll hand out a tract or clean up a habit. We call it “being careful.” Heaven might call it unbelief on dry ground.

So let me put it straight: where has God told you to step, and you’re still arguing from the shoreline? You already know the spot. It’s that conversation you keep dodging, that sin you keep petting, that call to service you keep postponing until “things settle down.” The water’s high, the timing’s bad, and you’ve got a list of reasons that would make any Laodicean proud. The Lord’s answer is still the same: “Step in.”

This is the first time in Joshua you see that Ark walk straight into the problem and hold the line till everybody’s safely over. But it won’t be the last time. That same Ark is going to march around Jericho, sit in the middle of Israel’s victories, and later stand as a witness against them when they try to use God like a good‑luck charm. We’re just getting started with this box. Watch it. Wherever that Ark goes in this Book, something—and somebody—is going down.

So stay with Joshua. Follow the Ark. Watch who stands, and watch who drops—and then decide which side of that river you’re really going to live on.

Keep reading because tomorrow we hit Joshua 7–9, where one man’s buried sin trips up a whole nation.

Tomorrow’s reading is Josh 7-9
