7Now the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you just as I was with Moses. 8Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’ ”
Faith
“Even with God’s specific guidance, and with specific guidance from His word, this is still an impressive step of faith for Joshua. Living and walking in the Promised Land comes from this kind of faith, not a slavish reliance on a “law” relationship with God.
i. Faith leads us into greater victories than the law ever could.” (Guzik)
Joshua takes a leap of faith by taking over for Moses and prepares to lead the Israelites into the promised land across the Jordan.
We need the faith of Joshua concerning Jesus!
Look what Jesus says about faith!
John 20:29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God] are they who did not see [Me] and yet believed [in Me].”
Do you have that faith and believe?
Blessings
