February 18th 2012

Have you ever been in a situation where you worked with a team or with somebody else and everything just clicked?

Read Joshua 3:14-17 and journal your thoughts

Yesterday we talked about the importance of being committed to God, and today we see that when we remain loyal to God, He begins to work on our behalf. The problem is if we’re really honest with ourselves we have a hard time really believing that God is really working, that He is really going to do something. The problem is that we can’t see God like we see each other, so it’s hard for us to trust that He’s really going to step in to that moment when we need Him the most.

The part that makes things even trickier is that often God waits for us to act, before He steps in. This isn’t the first time God had parted a large body of water with His people. When the Hebrews were escaping Egypt and their backs were against the Red Sea, God parted the waters, and then they step forward. Notice in today’s verse, the Hebrews actually had to step into the river before it parted. God doesn’t do the exact same thing, He waits for them to act, but He still shows up.

What we have to remember is when we follow God’s lead, He is always working with us. Even though we can’t always see Him, even in those moments when we’re on the water’s edge, God is right there wait for us to act so He can act. In those moments, everything clicks, and we begin to actually work with God.

Today pray that God would give you the faith to act in those moments when you are more uncertain than certain.
