Old Testament

Amalek attacks Israel. Joshua fights while Moses intercedes, supported by Aaron and Hur, and God gives victory. Jethro wisely urges Moses to share leadership. At Sinai, God reminds Israel that He carried them on eagles' wings and calls them His treasured possession, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.

New Testament

Jesus teaches that the greatest commandments are to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves. He reveals that the Messiah is David's Lord and warns against pride and hypocrisy. True greatness is found in humble service.

Psalm

David cries for mercy and chooses to wait for the Lord with courage and trust. Proverb Summary These verses warn against sexual immorality and call God's people to purity, faithfulness, and self-control. Discover Jesus Moses grew weary and needed support. Jesus is our greater Mediator. He never grows weary or fails and continually intercedes for His people. Jesus perfectly loved the Father and demonstrated perfect love by giving His life for us. Everything in today's reading points to Jesus. Reflect Where is God calling you to depend on His strength instead of your own? How can you demonstrate humble, Christlike service this week? Fellowship Discuss how God has used other believers to strengthen you. Pray for one another to remain faithful.
