A “through the bible” devotion from Joshua 3.
We thought it was cool in the 1960s. On the starship Enterprise, you just walked up to a door and it opened automatically.
Now we take it for granted. I walk up to the door of the supermarket and it opens automatically for me. I get a little miffed if I have to open the door for myself at a store that hasn’t stepped into the 21st century.
Turns out it’s not really a new idea at all. Poised on the banks of the Jordan, God told the priests to dip a toe in and the river would stop flowing. And it did.
“When the feet of the priests carrying the ark stepped down into the edge of the water… then the waters which were flowing down from above stood and rose up in one heap… and all Israel crossed on dry ground (Joshua 3:15-17).
God loves to do that. He loves to turn obstacles into opportunities. He feeds crowds, stills storms, rolls stones aside, and demonstrates his faithfulness and power over and over again.
Waite for it...
