As Israel traveled toward the Promised Land, they encountered cities to be conquered. Before the battles to occupy these cities began, Joshua told the Israelites to “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” (Joshua 3:5). One of those cities was Jericho, a city that had upped its security because they had gotten word of Israel’s reputation and the things that God had done. Israel didn’t know how things would unfold, but Joshua gave them particular instructions. We don’t always know how things will unfold in our lives when we are faced with life’s challenges, but as in the case of Joshua and Israel, perhaps we should ask ourselves: Am I courageous? Do I believe in God’s promises when I can’t see the future? Have I met the real Jesus? And do I believe that all things are possible with God? Yes, we sometimes have our doubts, but we must keep growing and believe that the Lord will do amazing things among us!
