Do Not Despise the Long Road of Formation

Joshua 3:13 (LSB)
“And it will be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off…”
Just as the priests stepped into the Jordan before its waters parted, so your obedience is preparing the way for the demonstration of God’s power.
The Lord is saying,
“I have already made the next step clear before you. I have confirmed My direction through My Word, I have heard your prayers, and I have borne witness within you by My Spirit. Do not allow the unchanged landscape before your eyes to diminish your trust. Trust Me, and walk by faith, not by sight. As you walk in faithful obedience to what I have already spoken to you, I will go before you and reveal My power in ways you have not yet seen.”
The Lord is releasing fresh courage to those who have grown weary in the waiting. Fear has sought to delay what faith is prepared to inherit, yet the Spirit of God is strengthening His people to arise and move forward. The waters that have stood before you will yield before the presence of the Lord who goes before you.
As you walk in obedient faith, He will establish your steps, make a way where there has seemed to be no way, and bring you into the inheritance He has prepared. This is an hour to trust His voice above what your eyes can see, for the God who called you is faithful to fulfill every word He has spoken. Walk in obedience, stand firm in faith, and watch as the Lord prepares the way before you by His mighty power.
