What's your Jordan? The Jordan River had to be crossed to enjoy &
experience the Promise Land; it took the Israelites 40 years & God gave specific
instructions for them to cross. Has God given you specific instructions
to cross your Jordan? You know in your heart it's what you're suppose to
do but you reason it's not a good time. The water level is at its
highest with a dangerous current & now you're second guessing yourself & wondering if you even heard God correctly. You're certain all preparations
have led to now; it's harvest season...the time to reap what you've
sown. You look across the Jordan & see where God wants you to be-He
said it's yours but you must posses it!
Your head spins-all your fears are accurate; you can't do this...but God can! He's got the able, He needs available. God doesn't amuse Himself by wringing you out to see how tough you are; He wrings the "I" out of you to make room for "Him" to bring His plans to fruition through you. The only way you're going to cross your Jordan is in His strength. Stop wasting time on if you can or can't...you can't, but God will, if you will let Him. But you won't know God will until you follow Him & step into your Jordan, then the water will begin to roll back. God told the Israelites to keep a distance between them & the ark of the covenant since they had not passed this way before. God's tenderness is evident; He knows the things He asks of us are impossible & scary, but He does this so we will rely on Him. And if we will trust Him, we will see that He's reliable & makes a way for us!
No one can convince you to trust God, but the more bold steps of obedience you take, the more trust you gain & the more your relationship deepens. I pray you will cross your Jordan & fulfill the plans God has called you to. Your life will be full, complete & actually ridiculously content! Will you make yourself available & trust God to lead you across your Jordan?
