In Joshua chapter 3, the children of Israel were about to enter the promise land of Canaan. They had waited nearly 40 years for this day. however, there was just one problem, they had to cross the Jordan River. To make matters worse, this was the harvest flood season and the depth and width of the Jordan was at its maximum. This would seem like a bad time to try and cross the Jordan. However, God prepares Joshua and the people by letting them understand that there going through was not just predicated on them, but it was on God. The main stipulation that God told them how they would cross the Jordan, was that they would have to have the Ark of the Covenant be carried in the Jordan. In other words, if they were to cross, the presence of God was to be put in the middle of the Jordan. God let them know that there ability to go through the Jordan was based upon their willingness to put God in the very thing they were trying to get through. The question I want to ask someone today is, what is it that you need to put God in, in order to get through it? God Bless. PG
