Daily Devotional

Joshua 3:13 - "And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap."

This is one of my favorite passages. It shows me that the priests demonstrated their faith by walking into the water. And as soon as they did the waters were cut off. Sometimes it takes us walking into a situation for the Lord to reveal His power.
 
We leased our car 3 years ago (if you want to know what I learned about leasing you can ask me) and the lease is up in a couple of months so we are in the process of looking for another car. This is not a process I enjoy. I’d love for the Lord to just immediately tell me what car to get. But I know that in order for Him to do that we have to walk into the process, and then He can show us.
 
I know buying a car is not a really deep subject and there are much more serious decisions that we make; but, I still want to make the right choice. So the faith process is still the same. The verse, “Lord…we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you” has come up several times (2 Chronicles 20:12).

I’m grateful that I have a patient and merciful Savior who loves to walk ahead and behind me. But His is also walking beside me as I step into the water with faith.
 
Maybe there’s something the Lord is asking you to do or somewhere the Lord is asking you to go. Remember, you may need to step into it before you see His power. Keep the Faith!!
 
Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)  
by Matt Crocker, Joel Houston, and Salomon Ligthelm
Verse 1
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand
 
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
 
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sov'reign hand will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
 
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
 
I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
