「Now Joshua was old, advanced in years.

　And the Lord said to him:

　"You are old, advanced in years,

　and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.」　　Amen.

　Joshua had largely conquered the land of Canaan, yet much territory remained unconquered.

But he had grown old with the passing years. I too have grown old with the passing years. My Bible is worn and tattered, its red lines multiplying, yet I read it daily, though it remains full of passages I don't understand. “Much land remains to be conquered.” Making each part my own is also the joy left to me.

　May I find joy in the Lord today as well...　

　God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
