JOSHUA 3:9-17
Jane was learning to feel at ease in the water as a non-swimmer. With arms extended, her instructor was waiting for her in the water. Will you catch me? I could see her hesitating as I watched. What would happen if I lost consciousness?
It is possible that the Israelites were unsure of what would occur once they passed the Jordan River.
The Israelites had to put their faith to the test and take action in order to find the answers to their questions. The priests carried the ark of the covenant before them as they departed from their tent to cross the Jordan (v. 14). They could see that God was with them since they had put their faith to use. He was still guiding Joshua and would assist them.
If your faith is being put to the test, you can also move forward by relying on God’s attributes and His infallible promises. You can get from where you are to where He wants you to be by relying on Him.
Fear fades when we trust God, our Father.
🙏You are the God who can be trusted. Lead us on in Jesus’ Name.
