What stood out today:
5 Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."
8 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.' "
17 The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.
My response: Lord, you are amazing indeed! I am struck by the centrality of the Arc or the Covenant. The vessel of your promise is Holy, set apart. You lead with Your covenant promise. You make waters in the flood season stand up in a heap. You dry the ground even. It’s interesting you lead Israel out of Egypt through the Red Sea. You lead Israel into the Promised Land through the Jordan, holding back great waters and drying the ground. Lord, you spoke to Joshua telling him what to do. Lord please do the same for me as I lead. You alone know where you are leading.
