We finish the Pentateuch today! Great work.

Here is today’s Bible reading:  Deuteronomy 34:1-Joshua 2:24; Luke 13:22-14:6; Psalm 79:1-13; Proverbs 12:26.

Luke 13:22-24 (NIV)  
    Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. [23] Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
    He said to them, [24] “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.

Ridiculously sobering. 

Luke 13:32-33 (NIV)  
    He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ [33] In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day–for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!

I like this defiant, determined streak in Jesus.  I need more of that.

Joshua 1:1-2 (NIV)  
    After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: [2] “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them–to the Israelites.

As far as God was concerned, the defining quality of the life of Moses was that he was a servant of God.  I can think of no better title.
