You're listening to the Dope Daily Audio Bible and I'm your guy, pastor Charlie Mitchell, and today we're looking at Joshua chapter three. Let's roll. Joshua started early the next morning and left the Acacia Grove with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan and stayed there before crossing. After three days, the officers went through the camp and commanded the people. When you see the arc of the covenant of the Lord your God carried by the Levitical priest, You are to break camp and follow it, but keep a distance of about a thousand yards between yourselves and the arc. Don't go near it so that you can see the way to go For you haven't traveled this way before Joshua told the people, consecrate yourselves because the Lord will do wonders among you tomorrow. Then he said to the priests, carry the Ark of the Covenant and go on ahead of the people. So they carried the Ark of the Covenant and went ahead of them. The Lord spoke to Joshua today. I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all of Israel so that they will know that I will be with you just as I was with Moses. command the priests carrying the arc of the covenant. when you reach the edge of the water. Stand in the Jordan. Then Joshua told the Israelites, come closer and listen to the words of the Lord your God. He said, You will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly dispossess before you the Canaanites. He hivites, parasites, gsites, Amorites, and Jebusites. When the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole Earth goes ahead of you into the Jordan, now choose 12 men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe. When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the Lord, the Lord of the whole earth come to rest in the Jordan's water, it will be cut off. The water flowing downstream will stand up in a mass. when the people broke, camped across the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of the people. Now, the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season, But as soon as the priest carrying the arc reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge and the water flowing downstream stood still rising up in a mass that extended as far as Adam, a city next to Zhan. The water flowing downstream into the sea of a Rabbi. The dead sea was completely cut off and the people crossed opposite Jericho. The priest carrying the Ark of the Lord's covenant stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground until the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan. Let's pray. Dear Lord, I pray that as we come up against impossible waters and situations, help us not to panic, but I pray that we would trust. Teach us to follow your presence step by step, even when the path isn't clear. Give us the courage to move forward before we see the entire plan. Sanctify our hearts, set us apart again, and remind us that you still make a way where there seems to be no way where're not crossing alone, because we know that you go before us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
