† The River Crossing † After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. Joshua 1:1–3 ESV Painful memories came to Joshua’s mind as the Lord told him to arise and cross over to The Promised Land. Joshua was now about eighty years old. Forty years ago they had gone to explore the land, and when it came time to cross over, instead of obeying God the people became paralyzed with fear and wanted to return to Egypt. After wandering in the wilderness until that generation died, the Lord had now brought them back to this place and told them again to cross over. Would the people go this time, or would we take another lap around the mountain? I am sure he breathed a sigh of relief once they had crossed the Jordan river. If God is telling you to do something, do not let fear hold you back. Be the one that did cross the river and not the one that was afraid to. Jesus loves you so much that He traded His life for yours! :)
