Joshua 3:7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
The Israelites camp beside the swollen, impassable Jordan River --- many wondering how they will cross over into Canaan, the land God promised them. They need supernatural help and only God can give it.
“Follow the Priests as they carry the Ark of the Covenant across but stay back a ways,” God said to Joshua. As the multitude follows, the Jordan waters back up some twenty miles, leaving them dry ground to walk through to the other side. Wow! Don’t you know the first steps took faith. I wish I’d been there. After the miracle crossing they built a monument with rocks to remember.
As long as we try to solve our own problems, we are not walking in faith. It’s when we turn loose, step away and let the Lord have them that we will see victory ---- victory for the glory of God. Faith honors God and God honors faith.
Back there, when you trusted The Lord and He brought you through your Jordan --- you never forgot it. When tough times come again --- and they will --- go to that monument of His faithfulness and of your faith. Know that what worked before will work again. God will bring you through your Jordan again and again when you believe.
