Listen to Nick read the Firestarter.
Canaan is the land intended by Moses when he tells the people, “When you arrive in the land … (v. 1). However, mull over “Canaan” in your heart. Where is the spiritual “place” to where the Lord is leading you? Accept where you are right now, but believe that the Lord is continuing to give you grace to move to new levels of union with God and realization of your purpose in life.
Each day is a steppingstone to move further and deeper. Whether the stone is comfortable to stand upon or not, whether you like the stone or not, it is the one that will enable you to move to the next place on your journey. Greater than any discomfort is the presence of the Lord and his love for you that give you the energy to keep on. As you arrive at each Canaan-point of spiritual growth, be ready to offer your “first fruits” to the Lord.

Example: Offering the best I have v. 2
The Saturday passages follow the reading list that Jewish people use in their synagogue worship

that are read each year beginning with autumn.
