The Jordan River was in front of the Israelites, and they had to cross it to enter the land of Canaan. The Jordan River is also in front of us. It is what hinders our progress in faith. God has blessings prepared on the other side. Let us learn what it takes to cross that river.
First, fear God and sanctify ourselves. In order to be used by the holy God, we must first fear Him and sanctify ourselves.
Second, remember that God is with us and will guide us. The Lord, who died on the cross in our place and rose again, is always with us and guides us.
Third, believe in the Lord's promises and move forward. Their only guarantee for crossing the Jordan River was in the Word of God. They believed in it and moved forward. We should also believe in God's promises and move forward.
Let us each cross the Jordan River that stands in front of us by faith in the Lord!

<The Verse of the Bible>
And when the soles of the feet of the tribes of Israel, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the water of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from the flowing, and the water coming down from above shall stand in one heap.
Joshua 3: 13 (English Standard Version)
