- Just before the children of Israel were about to enter the Promised Land, after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.”(Joshua 3:5)
- To Consecrate means, "To be completely dedicated to God".
- Key word "Completely"
- When we do what God asks us to do, we will always see God's Amazing results.
- It may seem ridiculous and look impossible but only God can make the Impossible, Possible!
- When we choose "His Way", it gives the world around us a chance to see God at work...NOT us at work.
- There were plenty of ways for the Israelites to make a way to cross the Jordan River "Their way".
- They could have built a boat or a raft.
- They could have built a big bridge.
- But both of those ways would have taken a lot longer and used up a lot more of their energy.
- Their way would have left them trusting in their own ability.
- Their way would have put a delay on God's plans.
- But Gods way was the only way to cross the Jordan on Dry Ground!
- When we do things "Our Way", we rob God of the glory He deserves.
- God's way was the only way to do it without getting wet and making it possible immediately.
- God's way always builds your Faith.
- God's way always gives Him glory!
- God's way always leaves you Amazed!
- When we Consecrate ourselves and surrender to God, we find the quickest route to our dreams.
- And as we cross into our destiny we witness a Miracle!
- We arrive on the other side with a Testimony of something only God can do.
- And our Faith is lifted to a level where we can take on the next impossible situation - the walled city of Jericho.
- But a God who can get you across a River on dry ground, can certainly help you defeat the city of Jericho.
- Gods way is not only the best way, it's the only way.
- So here's the big question, what are you attempting to accomplish, "Your Way"?
- What are you working really hard at, but it's "All You"?
- How about surrendering "Your Way" to God?
- Consecrate it to Him.
- Make a choice today to completely surrender your will and your way to God!
- Watch what God can do in and through and with someone COMPLETELY consecrated to Him!
- Have a great Monday!
"All Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground. (Joshua 3:17 NIV)
