After the legendary Prophet, Moses, passed away, a new leader named Joshua was called upon to take command of the people of God. Moses had taken God’s people on a very long journey, right to the edge of “The Promised Land.” Now he was dead, and someone else was chosen to finish the trek. The one last obstacle between this wandering nation and their land flowing with milk and honey was a river.
As Joshua stands on the banks of the Jordan, he contemplates all the struggles and difficulties his people have experienced to get to this point. He also looks ahead with great anticipation of new hope for his people. After a few details of preparation, Joshua says this to his followers the day before they make the decisive move to cross over, “tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”
What is your Jordan River? Is their some final hurdle between you and “living the dream”? For many, one thing that stands in the way is pride. If one could only set aside the attitude of being stubborn and filled up with self focus, crossing over might be possible. Did you hear the promise Joshua made? On the other side, God will do amazing things.
Welcome to 2010. It’s here whether you are ready or not. How about listening to Joshua today and follow his lead, come on over. You can use this moment, this time of natural transition from one era to a new one and adjust some things in your life so you too can see God doing wonders all around you.
