Our world is becoming increasingly more opposed to and retaliating against Christianity.  If you try to live at all for Jesus you will find yourself pitted against the world and it’s system in some way.

There are times that life seems like a wide river that we are called to cross; but, we do not have any idea how we are going to get across it.  The children of Israel had the same experience.  They were faced with the Jordan river that overflows it’s banks and God told them to keep going.

They did not know what to do.  Even after all the victories and miracles God performed they were still stumped.  God gave them orders to keep pressing forward.  He even told them what would happen.  Look at Joshua 3:15-16, “And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.”  They did not quit.  They kept moving forward even with such great opposition.

God rewarded them for their obedience.  The waters stood up like a heap upon themselves.  Now, what would God do for your and I if we would only be obedient.  If we would do what He says when He says to do it?

So, how are you doing?
