  3. 3) Why did God judge the world with a flood and whom did He save?
    Because the earth was filled with violence and wickedness; God saved Noah, his family, and animals in the ark (Gen 6–9).

    The rainbow, as a sign of His promise never again to destroy all life by flood (Gen 9:8–17).
  5. 5) What was humanity’s aim at Babel, and how did God respond?
    They sought a name for themselves and unity in rebellion by building a tower; God confused their language and scattered them (Gen 11:1–9).

    Land, offspring, blessing to Abram and through him to all nations; God counted Abram’s faith as righteousness (Gen 12; 15; 17).

    He loses wealth, children, and health; yet he doesn’t curse God and maintains reverence (Job 1–2).
  18. 18) What is Job’s main complaint throughout the dialogues?
    That he is suffering despite being righteous; he longs for a mediator/arbitrator with God (e.g., Job 9, 13, 19).
  19. 19) How do Job’s friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar) generally explain his suffering?
    They insist suffering must result from personal sin, urging Job to repent—an oversimplification challenged by the book (Job 4–25).

  6. 6) (Medium) What lesson does the daughters of Zelophehad story (Numbers 27; 36) teach about inheritance and justice?

  7. 7) (Medium) What were the cities of refuge and why were they important?
    They protected those who committed unintentional manslaughter until trial, preserving life and justice (Num 35:9–34; cf. Josh 20–21 within the allocation section).
  8. 8) (Medium) According to Deuteronomy, what is Israel’s central calling toward God?
    To love the LORD wholly—heart, soul, strength—keeping His commands and teaching them diligently (Deut 6:4–9; 10:12–13).
  9. 9) (Medium) What does Deuteronomy emphasize about worship location and idolatry?
    Worship at the place God chooses (centralization) and reject idolatry completely (Deut 12; 13).
  10. 10) (Medium) What assurance and command did God give Joshua as he succeeded Moses?
    “Be strong and courageous”; meditate on the Law day and night, and God would be with him (Josh 1:6–9).
  11. 11) (Medium) After crossing the Jordan, why were twelve stones set up at Gilgal?

    Achan took devoted things from Jericho; after exposing and judging the sin, God gave victory at Ai (Josh 7–8).
  13. 13) (Medium) What did the Gibeonites do to secure a treaty, and what warning does that give?
    They deceived Israel with a distant-traveler ruse; Israel failed to seek the LORD’s counsel—warning against decisions without prayer (Josh 9:3–15).
  14. 14) (Medium) In Joshua 10, what miracle accompanied Israel’s victory over the Amorite kings?
    God hurled hailstones and the sun “stood still” as Joshua pursued the enemies (Josh 10:11–14).
  15. 15) (Medium) What repeated cycle begins to appear in Judges 1–3?
    Israel sins → oppression by enemies → crying to the LORD → God raises a judge → deliverance → rest → relapse (Judg 2:10–19).
  16. 16) (Medium) Name two judges from your readings this month and one key act from each.

  17. 17) (Medium) What sign did Gideon ask of God regarding the fleece, and what does it show about him?
    He asked for dew on the fleece only, then dew on the ground only; it shows his hesitancy and God’s patient confirmation (Judg 6:36–40).
  18. 18) (Medium) What is the main theme of Psalm 90?
    God’s eternal sovereignty contrasted with human frailty; a plea for mercy and wisdom—“Teach us to number our days” (Ps 90:1–17).
  19. 19) (Reflect) Where are you tempted to be like Israel in Numbers 14—seeing obstacles more than God’s promises?
    Invite honest reflection: identify one “giant” you fear and one concrete step of trust you can take this week (pray, obey, seek counsel).
  20. 20) (Reflect) Joshua 1 urges courage rooted in God’s presence and Word. What practice can help you “meditate day and night” this month?
    Suggestions: read the day’s passage aloud, memorize one verse, set a daily reminder, share one takeaway with a friend or small group.
  21. 21) (Reflect) The Gibeonite treaty (Joshua 9) warns about rushing decisions. Where could you slow down to pray and seek wise counsel?
    Name one upcoming decision; set a time to pray and ask at least one mature believer for input before acting.
  22. 22) (Reflect) Gideon’s story shows God’s strength in weakness (Judges 6–7). What “300-sized” step of obedience is God calling you to take?
    Choose one small, specific act that feels risky but faithful—initiate reconciliation, serve, give generously, or speak truth in love.
  23. 23) (Reflect) Psalm 90 asks for a “heart of wisdom.” What would it look like to “number your days” in how you plan the next month?
    Align time with God’s priorities: schedule prayer/Scripture first, add rest, commit to gathered worship, and plan one act of mercy or witness.

Tips for Reading the Bible Daily

  1. Start reading the Bible today -- there is no better time, and there's no reason to wait. Pick a Bible reading plan that will help you know where to start.
  2. Set aside a specific time each day. Set your schedule and then stick to it. Mornings are great, but feel free to use any time that works consistently for you.
  3. Read the Bible for the sake of learning, not simply to accomplish your next reading. Say a short prayer to God before you begin, asking the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and understanding, then be refreshed by the words you read!
