Joshua 3:5, 13
Scripture: Joshua 3:5, 13
“…tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you… as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests… rest in the waters, the waters shall be cut off.”
There are moments when God calls you to move before anything looks possible. Joshua 3 gives us a picture of faith that doesn’t wait for evidence—it steps into obedience and trusts God to show Himself faithful. The priests were told to walk toward a flooded river during harvest season, when the Jordan was at its highest and most impossible. Their job was not to part the waters. Their job was to step.
Many breakthroughs in your life will follow the same pattern. Miracles are often activated by movement, not certainty. God asks for obedience while the river is still rising. He asks you to trust Him while the outcome is still invisible. He invites you to step before anything shifts.
The priests didn’t see the miracle until their feet touched the water. That first step was the hardest—because it required faith in the face of impossibility. But the moment they moved, God moved. The waters didn’t part mid-river. They parted at the step.
Your river may look like fear, lack, confusion, transition, insecurity, or a decision that feels bigger than you. But God has not asked you to part the waters. He has asked you to move toward obedience and trust Him with what happens next. He specializes in making a way where one hasn’t existed before.
Stepping doesn’t mean having the whole path figured out. It means moving with what you know. It means acting on the last instruction God gave you. It means refusing to wait for conditions to be perfect before you obey. When you step, heaven responds.
God told Joshua, “Tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” But the wonders were unlocked by movement. The priests’ feet carried the faith that activated the miracle. The same is true for you. As you step, God moves and opens paths.
You may not feel ready. You may not feel strong. But obedience is not about how you feel—it is about who you trust. God goes before you, stands with you, and makes a way for you.
Today is about taking the next faithful step. Not the whole journey. Just the step. And as you do, the waters will part.
