As the Israelites prepare to cross the Jordan River after 40 years of wandering (Joshua 3), we can relate to their feelings of anticipation, faith, and spiritual preparation. It's not uncommon for God to call us into the unknown. However, are we preparing ourselves for that calling? Are we maintaining our focus on His divine presence?
As our church begins our annual stewardship series, we can draw parallels between the Israelites' crossing and our own spiritual challenges. But we can also be reminded that God will always guide us through our rivers. We can even be encouraged to anticipate what He will do in our lives and communities through our obedience.
