Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15.

Reading & Meditation Luke 16: 19 -31 “… They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them” v 29 A story was told of the encounter of an insurance agent and an intending client. The insurance agent shares the following experience: His wealthy neighbour planned to build a big house with every convenience. In order to provide security for his wife he decided to take out insurance policy. The forms were completed and ready for signing. The agent phoned the neighbour to tell him that his signature was all that was needed. But the man delayed as neighbour's they often met; so he reminded him repeatedly, but after some months the man had still failed to sign as the premium was high. At a later encounter the agent suggested, “The best thing would be to sign three days before the disaster happens”. His neighbour laughed, saying, “I can’t calculate that accurately” and said good bye. The next morning his private plane crashed, and he was killed. A few days ...
