Great Things for God
We all want to do great things for God. To be useful, helpful instruments of God. Joshua chapter three tells of one man who succeeded. He is the SUPERMAN of the Old Testament. A man of action, he is aggressive and powerful. Let us look at this one individual, Joshua, and see how he became successful in his quest to do great things for God.
The Lord's Miracle
Any successful work of God needs a touch of the miraculous. The people of Israel had been camped at the banks of the Jordan river for three days. Then Joshua said, "Purify yourselves, because tomorrow the Lord will perform miracles among you."1 For Joshua, this entailed the river Jordan being stopped and the people being able to cross on dry ground. When the people left the camp to cross the Jordan, the priests went ahead of them carrying the Covenant Box. As soon as the priests stepped into the river, the waters stopped flowing and piled up, far upstream at Adam, the city beside Zarethan. The flow downstream to the Dead Sea was completely cut off, and the people were able to cross over near Jericho.2
