Tomorrow with God

The future is always bright with the promises of God. It is always better on ahead when we are His children. Joshua 3: 1-8. Verse 5 is a great promise with a clear condition, ’Consecrate yourselves: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you’.

Did you notice there is a change in God’s method of guidance for His people as they ĭİÕĭ²İÕ ļĔ ÕčļÕİ ļñÕ |İĔČõĴÕÑ V²čÑʤ :Ĕİ êĔİļŘ ŘÕ²İĴ ļñÕ ĭõĆĆ²İ Ĕê ţİÕ ñ²Ñ ĆÕÑ ļñÕČʣ Eļ Ŗ²Ĵ ² ËĆĔŁÑ ÊŘ Ñ²Ř ²čÑ ² ţİÕ ÊŘ čõëñļʣ ‹ñÕŘ ñ²Ñ ĔčĆŘ ČĔŕÕÑ when it moved. They had stayed when it stayed.

Now it is the Ark of God which is to lead them. The Ark was now a symbol of God’s presence among them. It is mentioned no less than ten times in this chapter.

Here then, for a people standing facing new experiences and a new opportunity, is a new method to show us His will. There are at least ţŕÕ Ŗ²ŘĴ õč ļñÕ ÊĔĔă Ĕê ËļĴ ÊŘ ŖñõËñ AÕ ĆÕÑ Paul. But His promise is sure. He will guide and lead His people. He will go before into every new circumstance or opportunity. He will clearly lead us as we follow Him.

Our place is to trust God for guidance. Too often we tell Him how to guide us, when what we need to do is simply believe He will show us His will in His own time and way.

One further point - the Ark was to be allowed to go ahead by almost one mile. This was for two reasons. One was to press upon the people the holiness of God. The second was so that everyone could have a clear view of the Ark. They could see it move forward and everyone would begin to move at the same time. They moved together as a whole. That is what our churches need to have – such a clear view of Christ that the whole group moves forward together. Try it and see the results.
