On that day they read from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people. And in it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God, (Nehemiah 13:1-2, ESV)
The Israelites read on a regular calendar cycle...kind of similar in a way to our OYB. It makes sense then, that as they read, they were confronted with areas in which their thinking and practice had wavered from the Scriptures. So thankful for the guidance and conviction the daily reading of Scripture brings to my heart and mind. It makes this verse from Ps 139 come alive.
You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. (Psalms 139:5, ESV)
And this one from 2nd Timothy...
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, ESV)
