Crossing Over Jordan

Then Joshua told the people: Years from now your children will ask you why these rocks are here. Tell them, “The Lord our God dried up the Jordan River so we could walk across. He did the same thing here for us that he did for our people at the Red Sea, because he wants everyone on earth to know how powerful he is. And he wants us to worship only him.”

Joshua 4:21-24 CEV

 
When God led the Children of Israel out of Egypt He did an obvious miracle to mark the moment they escaped!  He did the same thing when He dried up the Jordan River as they entered the Promised Land forty years later.

God, today still wants everyone on earth to know how powerful He is!  So when you are snatched from the grip of Satan, His power will be evident to everyone you know!  And when  you cross over to the Promised Land at the end of your journey here on earth, the waters of the Jordan will part as you leave!

As we live on this earth as Christians we are no longer "slaves to sin" in the captivity of Egypt, but we are not yet standing before His throne in the glories of Heaven!  The day you walked across the Red Sea on dry ground was wonderful, but even more wonderful and glorious will be the day you walk across the Jordan River into the presence of God Himself!

"Thank You Jesus for making a way for all those who follow You to enter into the Throne Room of Heaven and sing Your Praises forever and ever!  Amen."
