NL-Day109 Deuteronomy 31-32; Psalm 66; Acts 18

April 12, 2026·23 min·2 clips

Moses, at 120 years old, declares he will not cross the Jordan River and commissions Joshua to lead Israel into the promised land.

The episode begins with Deuteronomy 31, where Moses, aged 120, informs Israel he will not cross the Jordan River and appoints Joshua as his successor, urging courage because God will go ahead of them. Moses writes down the law and commands it to be read publicly every seven years. God then tells Moses he will soon die and predicts that Israel will worship foreign gods after entering the promised land, breaking the covenant and incurring divine anger. To serve as a witness, Moses is instructed to write a song teaching Israel. In Deuteronomy 32, Moses recites this song, which praises God as a faithful rock but warns that Israel will become corrupt, fat, and idolatrous, leading to God's vengeance, though he ultimately promises justice. The episode transitions to Psalm 66, a psalm of praise that calls for global worship of God, recounts his miracles like parting the Red Sea, and stresses that confession of sin is necessary for God to listen to prayer. The final segment covers Acts 18, where Paul travels from Athens to Corinth, meets Aquila and Priscilla, and preaches in the synagogue, facing Jewish opposition. After a vision from God assuring protection, Paul stays in Corinth for a year and a half. Jews accuse him before Governor Gallio, who dismisses the case as a matter of Jewish law, not a crime. Paul later travels to Ephesus and other regions, strengthening believers. The episode concludes with a prayer reflecting on God's faithfulness and the need for confession.
