Are you walking behind God?

“Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.” Joshua 3:11

Joshua was ready to lead the Israelites across the Jordan River and claim the promises of God.

God told Joshua they were to follow the ark of the covenant as they crossed over the Jordan River into the Promised Land. All the people were to walk behind the ark of the covenant.

There is a powerful truth in this living story. You must wait on God and allow Him to go before you to claim His promises. If you try to go ahead of God you will fail.

Whether you are seeking a new job, planning to start a family, pursuing an education or a new direction in life, you must wait on God and make certain you are in His perfect will and timing. The ark of the covenant must always go before you. This will bring you victory!

Walking with God is not by might nor by strength but by His Spirit. Joshua was successful in leading his people into the Promised Land and conquering all their enemies. He was in oneness with God and obedient to His leading.

Timing is everything with God! You cannot jump start God. Moses waited 40 years for the calling of God.

God keeps His promises but you and I become impatient and lose faith when we see no evidence or proof of God at work.

We get tired of waiting for God and sometimes take matters into our own hands. If you step out on your own, this will cause striving, headaches, and failure.

If God is in your endeavors, you will be successful! He is the first and last God. There is no other God.

Thought for the day: “Apart from Me you can do nothing!”
