Explore Faith – Joshua 3:8

Posted on 01. May, 2009 by scott in Blog

“Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’”                         Joshua 3:8

Stand in the river?  … With the ark of the covenant? … Are you CRAZY?

The ark of the covenant was to be treated with great care.  It wasn’t something to be carried into the middle of a river that was at flood stage!  What if they dropped it?

God was asking the Israelites to do something CRAZY.  To move into the Promised Land, they would have to trust Him again and continue to follow His plan for them.  Some of the group had probably already engineered a bridge in their mind … but God was asking them to trust Him and move into the middle of the river; allowing Him to stop the flowing water.

How CRAZY!

What CRAZY thing is God asking you to do right now?  If nothing comes to mind, maybe you’re not listening well enough.  God always seems to be asking His people to trust Him and do CRAZY things.

If you have something CRAZY that you think God is asking you to do … would you be bold enough to post it here?  I would love to join you in praying about this!

    God is asking me to speak & share of my passion. To give back what’s been so freely given to me.

    God is going to use you in mighty ways (He already is) as you continue to step out Michele. I am excited to see what He will do!

    Thanks for sharing this with us Michele. I’ll be praying with and for you!
