Crossing into God's Promises. Respond to challenge; We all have a Jordan river to cross. How do we respond to the challenge? Watch God; The Ark symbolized the presence and power of God. The glory of God rested when the ark was in the Holy of Holies. Follow God; When they saw the ark of the covenant move, leave your place and go after it. We must pursue God. Honor God; There must always be a Holy reverence of the Lord in our hearts. Put God first. Joshua 3, John 5:19-20, Mark 2
