Stepping into a Jordon

Lessons observed in reading Joshua 3 & 4 in time of stress and uncertainty: Believe, Step, Miracles, Evidence.

3:5 "Joshua told the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.'"
** Joshua knew the character of God,believed what He said, and expected ‘amazing things’ from Him.

3:8b "When you reach the edge of the Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river."
** Step into what looks impossible or doesn’t seem to make sense, obedience leads faith

13:5-.. "Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon…the water from upstream stopped flowing."
** God will pick times and situations which accentuate the impossible and require the miraculous, to confirm His love and to glorify Himself.

4:5 "Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder…... And they are there to this day."
** All of history records God’s presence – every physical event in the Bible left real evidence. There are thousands upon thousands of “to this day” in Israel.
