Fr. Mike reminds us that God keeps his promises, even if it takes a little longer than we thought. Just like the people of Israel received everything the Lord had promised them, we too will receive everything the Lord has promised us, even in the midst of hardship and temptation. Today's readings are Joshua 19-21, and Psalm 131. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of Simeon, according to its families, and its inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah. And it had for its inheritance Beersheba, Sheba, Lada, Hazar-Shual, Bala, Ezim, Eltulad, Bethul, Hormah,
Ziklag, Beth-Makraboth, Hazar-Susa, Beth-Lebaoth, and Shurahan, 13 cities with their villages, En-Ramon, Ether, and Ashan, four cities with their villages, together with all the villages round about these cities as far as Baalath-Beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon according to its families.
The inheritance of the tribe of Simeon formed part of the territory of Judah because the portion of the tribe of Judah was too large for them. The tribe of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance. the territory of Zebulun. The third lot came up for the tribe of Zebulun, according to its families, and the territory of its inheritance reached as far as Sarid.
