As you travel through life, the journey that you are taking may be hard at times. You might feel like you are in a boat that’s being tossed about by high waves. Or you might feel that no one is listening to you. Don’t give up hope! Just turn to God because He is your source of contentment and your breathe of life. I’ve been on a journey through the book of Joshua and God has opened my eyes to see things as I read from Joshua that I hadn’t noticed before. I want to share such a passage of scripture with you.

When the people set out to cross the Jordan, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them. Now it was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, the water began piling up at a town upstream called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the city of Jericho. Meanwhile, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the LORD’s covenant stood on dry ground in the middle of the riverbed as the people passed by them. They waited there until everyone had crossed the Jordan on dry ground. (Joshua 3:14-17, NLT)

Have you ever wondered why the people crossed over the Jordan on dry grow near Jericho? Seeing that Jericho was the first obstacle that they had to face once they crossed into the Promised Land, it seemed strange to me when I noticed this part of the verse. But when I thought more on it, I realized that when we face a trial in our life that God won’t take us around it or move us far away from it but that he will allow us to come face to face with it. The thing about facing our trials is that God will prepare a way for us to conquer the trials. All we have to do is obey His directions that He gives to us regardless of how strange they may seem. So keep in mind that you are a mighty woman or man of valor and that God wants to bless you to take your journey to a new level.
