History - Old Testament
Joshua 3 v. 16 the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap far off, at Adon, the city that is besides Zarethan, and those flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, where wholly cut off; and the people passed over opposite of Jericho.
O - Observation
God will do mighty things if you live dangerously for him. In this verse, God instructed Joshua and the Israelites to go into the land of Canaan. But the problem was the Jordon river was flooded. God gave Joshua strict instructions on how to deal with this, have the Ark of the Covenant go first. When the feet of the men carrying the Ark touched the water, verse 16 happened. It was complete trust in God's power and control. Jesus tells us in Matthew 7 v. 20b, "If you have faith of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there', and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you." With God on your side, who can be against you?
A - Application
So.... Am I living dangerously for the Lord? Do I accept that God can do mighty things in my life?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Give me the faith and courage to live my life dangerously for you. Love Will
