Joshua 8:35 (ESV): “35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded that Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who lived among them.”
Reading the whole counsel of God is a must for every Christian. Our minds are renewed by the washing of the Word. Read the Bible from cover to cover as many times as you can. It will change your life!
After the children of Israel conquered Ai, Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal per Moses’ instructions. He then offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on it. Half of the tribes of Israel stood on Mount Ebal and the other half on Mount Gerizim, and Joshua blessed the people. Then he read the blessings and the cursing, and all of the law to them. He didn't leave a single word out. The people of Israel were washed in the Word!

Father, we thank You for Your Word! It is life-giving and heart-transforming. Give us a passion to read it from cover to cover and use it to fashion us we pray in Jesus' name, amen.
