I love the story of the Israelites crossing into the Promised Land in Joshua 3. God uses this story to teach us multiple lessons. First, it paints a picture of what God often requires of His people. Before God would stop the flow of the Jordan, He wanted the spiritual leaders in the river. How often does God do this today? God gives us direction and promises us blessings, but He sometimes requires His people to step out in faith before He brings the blessings.
This story is not just about God's people, it is also a great reminder for those in His service. We are not only called to be leaders in our words, but we are called to be leaders in our actions. God calls His leaders to lead His people by example. We are to be first into the river.
