“Hurry Up, God!”
Wow!! We really live in a generation that is fast moving! No one wants to “wait” on anything! In Joshua 3:15, Joshua was in command. God’s servant, Moses, had died, and young Joshua was stepping into the big footsteps of Moses! For any normal person, that would have been frightening, but Joshua knew how to obey the Lord. Now, the “over 1,000,000 Israelites” were about to cross the Jordan River. The Bible says, “And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water […] That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam…” (Joshua 3:15-16)
Notice that the waters of Jordan never moved a drop, until the feet of the priests touched the water! We all want God to “hurry up,” but God has everything in our lives timed out to the second! Don’t try to “hurry God up!” He has a divine plan for every second of your life!!! Have a great day! Sherry
