Episode Details

Today's reading covers Joshua 21 and Proverbs 13:9–12. The reflection centers on the chapter's closing summary — "not one word of all the good promises the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed" — as a fitting capstone for the whole book of Joshua, with a note on how the rest Israel receives here points forward to the greater rest fulfilled in Christ. 

In Proverbs 13:9–12, the discussion covers the contrast between the righteous and the wicked pictured as light and lamp, the strife bred by insolence versus the wisdom found in taking advice, wealth gained hastily versus wealth gathered steadily, and the ache of hope deferred against the joy of a desire fulfilled.
