Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 75: God Always Keeps His Promises

Good evening, everyone!

Today I read Joshua 19-21.

We learn more about the territories given to each tribe.

And the cities of refuge are chosen.

Remember?

God said that there would be cities of refuge for someone who accidentally killed someone. They could go to a city of refuge, be tried by the priest, and if it was found that they hadn't premeditated the attack, they would be allowed to stay in that city as long as the priest lived, and no one could seek them out for revenge. After the priest who gave them refuge died, they were allowed to return home.

If someone sought revenge for an accidental death in a city of refuge, they were to be put to death.

And I find the concept of the cities of refuge very interesting.

Perhaps I'll do a more in-depth study after I finish my RBY challenge.

Also, I'd like to share the final verse of my reading today:

Joshua 21:45 - Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass.

God did everything He said He would. He always does.

We can trust Him with everything because He's in charge of everything. And He never breaks His promises.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Joshua 22-24!
