Get Your Feet Wet

Have you ever wondered if God was really going to provide?

We ask in prayer, but do we truly believe that He has gone before us on our behalf or has it just become routine for our walk of "faith" to ask and not really expect provision?

It does however, require some effort on our part to see God’s provision realized in our life.

Joshua was told to be courageous and not to fear what would come next because God had gone before him and prepared the land to be taken. But, notice in chapter 3, God did require that the Levite priests take the ark down to the water in faith and put their feet in the Jordan, which, by the way, was raging at the time of year!

When they did take that step, it says that "the waters rose in one heap" and that the priests and 2,000,000 people were able to cross on "
DRY GROUND!"

That last part gets me. See, God cares enough that even the ground, under a river that had been running for thousands of years, was completely dry so that they could cross easily and not turn into a "running-of-the-wildabeest mudfest." That’s provision!

But crossing the river does take action. Get your feet wet today!
