In my Bible Study right now we're studying the book of Joshua. This is my journal about what I got out of Joshua Chapter 3 so I thought I'd just like to share! Read the chapter and tell me what you think in the comments (:
Here it is:
Stayed where
they were at and waited. Followed the Lord. They KNEW exactly where he was. Not
where he was going, but where he was. We always want to know where we’re going
and where the Lord is taking us before we go with him, when really we don’t
have much of a choice and should just do it anyways. I don’t want to go
somewhere without knowing the way there and where the destination is. But, we
just have to go with God. I would be SO scared to go right into the Jordan
River when, there’s of course a whole bunch of water there! Crazy! But it’s
going to happen. That’s where trust comes into this. They TRUSTED God SO much!
They didn’t question him they just went. No matter what. Also, I mean they knew
the Lord. They didn’t even have to question what was from him. Sure they had
the Arc of the Covenant but still, they just knew. I wish I had that kind of
knowledge of God to just know right away! So many times it’s like, “Well umm,
yeah I THINK this is from the Lord, but I don’t actually totally know. I WANT
this to be from the Lord, so I’m going to go ahead and say it is.” Or “I DON’T
WANT this to be from the Lord, so I’m going to go ahead and say it’s not.” Or
“Okay so I thought this was from the Lord, but I don’t really want it to be any
more so, yeah it’s no longer from.” I feel like sometimes is just so hard to know.
When it’s in the Bible, sure it’s plain as day, but when it’s just Him speaking
to you it’s a lot harder to know. God spoke directly to Joshua, amazing! Okay
then at FLOOD STAGE and then stopped flowing! Wow! Okay so if God can do that
can’t he do something little? What can’t he do in our lives? I mean, he is just
amazing, so why can’t we just trust him a little? Why can’t I just trust what
he says and not doubt. It’s all about the doubt. I’m a worrier and so I’m
pretty sure the Devil uses that against me. Like a lot. I worry about God’s
plans for me. I worry whether I’m getting the right info from God. I worry
whether or not it’s from God. I just plain worry too much. I need to know and
trust a little more, amen?
I think this chapter is such a good illustration of how we just need to trust god and stop relying on our own knowledge. It really is so important but can be such a challenge at times.
