Lessons observed in reading Joshua 3 & 4 : Believe, Step, Miracles, Evidence.
3:5 Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."
** Joshua knew the character of God, and expected ‘amazing things’ from Him.
3:8b When you reach the edge of the Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river.
** Step into what looks impossible or doesn’t seem to make sense, obedience leads faith
13:5-.. Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon…the water from upstream stopped flowing.
** God will pick times and situations which accentuate the impossible, to confirm His great power and to glorify Himself.
4:5 Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder…... And they are there to this day.
** All of history records God’s presence – every physical event in the Bible left real evidence. There are thousands upon thousands of “to this day” in Israel.
How have you experienced God in any of these four, or other ways?
