Joshua 3:14-17 (Ex 323)
Joshua was a sincere man who got up early in the morning.
“Joshua got up early in the morning” (Joshua 3:1, 6:12, 7:16, 8:10)
A lazy man has never been a leader, a lazy man has never been successful,
never won. Of course, not all success is due to diligence.
But great leaders, successful people in their respective fields, living well
If you look at people, they are always diligent people.
According to the Bible, those who are still, those who do nothing, and those who move
Those who do not like to work must not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10), and it is said that they are evil.
(Matthew 25:26) We have to be diligent and faithful.
You have to make an effort. An early riser like Joshua has work to do.
People, people to pray, people to go to, people to meet,
As someone with expectations, I wake up early in the morning with excitement and anticipation.
will be If you have a dream, a goal, and a wish, there is a passion.
Joshua was like that, Israel was like that.
The difficulty was crossing the Jordan River, but the way to cross the river was different.
There was. “The priests of the Levites shall command the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God.
When you see them being carried, leave where you are and follow them” (Joshua 3:3).
The ark of the covenant symbolizes the presence of God leading the people of Israel.
He commands us to follow the holiness of God and to follow him at a distance in awe of acknowledging his holiness. Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, and tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you” (Joshua 3:5).
I did. In other words, he commanded sanctification to the people preparing to cross the river. It does not mean simply washing your body clean, but it means preparing yourself for the fulfillment of a holy purpose.
In order to follow God's ark of the covenant, to follow God's word, and to live with God's promised blessings, what needs to be settled, organized,
It is to look at what needs to be corrected and what to repent of first.
“You shall command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you come to the waters of the Jordan, go into the Jordan’” (Joshua 3:8).
Faith is entering with the certainty that the water will stop.
In reality you can't get into the water, but faith makes it possible.
When you enter, the river splits and the road opens. We have the courage to step in
must have If you have decided to live according to God's will, you must enter the position of living according to God's word. What qualifications do we have to believe and be saved to become God's people? What are we entitled to to call God our Father?
Can you and will you have heavenly citizenship? But in the Bible
It has been promised and has already been declared, so we must believe and live. Believe it or not,
Obedience or disobedience, do not believe vaguely, but enter courageously.
don't hesitate Only then will God open it.
- Almighty God! When there are barriers, when there is a crisis, when there is a river to cross, please do not panic. Don't let me be afraid. Rather, help us realize that it is an opportunity to meet the living God, and help us see God who walks with us in our crisis.
