Joshua: Steps of faith

Joshua 3

What did it take for Joshua and the Israelites to cross the Jordan and move in to the promised land? Faith. It was instructed that the ark of the covenant go before the people for two reasons: 1) The visible representation of the Lord was to go before the people so they could keep their eyes on Him. 2) So the Lord could show His power and provision to prove once again that He is a faithful God. Our role as followers of God are the exact same today as they were then. Take our steps of faith, with your eyes fixed on Him, as He leads us in our earthly journey.
