Psalm 15 - This psalm is no doubt intended to illustrate the righteous life that God's people should live. I find it both beautiful and challenging. I am unworthy for God's tent and His hill. But there is one who tabernacled among us, and who went up to a hill to take the place of the unrighteous. Therefore I can stand before God.
Joshua 6:6-27 - Why did the Israelites have to circle the city and do everything so specifically? Couldn't they have just conquered the city in a normal way? Why does God need the gold and silver? All of this points ultimately to who the Israelites rely on. I don't know the specific reasons as to why things happened this way, but they seem to point to God and not Israel being the conquerer.
Acts 10:18-33 - The lordship and grace of Jesus is extended to the whole world, not just the Jewish peoples. This motif appears again and again in Acts as the disciples wrestle with the implications of Jesus having died and risen for all people.
