Keep Meditating ...Keep Walking

"and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest),that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho"

Joshua 3 :15-16 (New King James Version)



How many of us believe that God's timings are perfect ? :) Amen !! Sometimes infact more than often, we tend to worry and get anxious for no reason...but then when we begin to wait on the Lord and watch His perfect plan unfold in our lives we go "Wow ! Praise the Lord ! ". Ever thanked God that He didnt answer all of our prayers ? :) I have !! I thank God that He doesnt give us everything we asked for..rather when we say "In accordance with Your Holy Will" we have His higher plan come to pass in our lives.

In this passage in Joshua, we see that the river Jordan posed as a problem for the people, if they had to get over to the other side. And the Bible says that at that specific period of time was when the banks overflowed with water ! Now the Lord didnt just make the river disappear without a trace or He didnt cause it to dry up way beforehand and then tell the people that "Its all dried up now ...Now you can go".....

No no no.... But He led them till a point where the soles of their feet touched the water.... and then the waters which came down from upstream stood still and rose in a heap !! Praise the Lord !
Many at times we want our barriers and problems to just disappear that we see no trace of it.... However we need to understand that under every circumstance we walk by faith and not by sight.... When we know we are walking as per the will of the Lord, then it doesnt matter what may seem to lie ahead...we just keep walking... And it might even come to a point where our feet get a lil damp with the water....But the Lord will never let anything overcome us as long as we put our trust in Him.... As we continue to walk leaning on Him , He will cause the waters to rise up as a heap and the dry ground to appear.

We read in Joshua 1 : 8-9 , ""This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”"

God Bless
