2026 Bible in a Year DAY 95: Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12, Psalm 40:13-17, Proverbs 13:13-14, & Luke 8:1-25

Moses, the man of God, stands as a towering figure in Scripture—not just for his leadership, but for his intimate relationship with the Lord. In Deuteronomy 34, we witness the final days of Moses: he ascends Mount Nebo, sees the Promised Land he will never enter, and dies at 120 years old with eyes unclouded and strength unbroken. The Lord Himself buried him, a divine act underscoring Moses’ unique status. Angela’s reflection reveals a profound truth: Moses’ exclusion from the land wasn’t due to age or natural decline, but to his unfaithfulness at Meribah—where he struck the rock instead of speaking to it as commanded. This moment underscores a central theme: even the greatest leaders are held to divine standards. The episode also highlights the often-overlooked women disciples in Luke 8—Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna—who supported Jesus not out of scandal, but out of devotion. Their inclusion challenges cultural norms and reveals the radical inclusivity of the Kingdom. Finally, the parable of the sower and the stilling of the storm point to a deeper spiritual reality: faith is not passive, but active. The light of God’s word must be tended, and when storms come, our response reveals the depth of our trust in Christ.
