Today I read Samuel 2, in which Hannah’s prayer tells of God’s goodness and might, the sons of Eli are committing wickedness and God’s prophecy of doom to Eli’s line.

Today I read 1 Samuel 1, in which Hannah’s answered prayer resulted in Samuel’s birth and Samuel’s dedication to the service of the Lord.

Today I read Joshua 24, in which Israel renews the covenant with God.

Today I read Joshua 23, in which Joshua is old and addresses Israel concerning following God.

Today I read Joshua 22, in which the Eastern tribes return home and build an altar.

Today I read Joshua 21, in which the children of Israel gave cities for the Levites from their inheritance.
