There are moments when God brings us right up to the edge—where faith meets fear and action collides with uncertainty. The Jordan River wasn’t calm that day. It was overflowing, dangerous, and impassable. And yet, God told Israel to walk into it. Not after it settled. Not after it made sense. He said, Step in now.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
"…as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan... the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away." — Joshua 3:15-16 (ESV)
There’s a lesson here that cuts right to the heart of what it means to trust God. The waters didn’t part until the priests’ feet touched the edge. Obedience preceded the miracle. It wasn’t the miracle that invited faith—it was faith that invited the miracle.
You see, every one of us has a Jordan—something God is calling us to cross, even while it rages in front of us. Maybe it’s leaving behind an addiction, starting that ministry, forgiving someone, or walking away from comfort into calling. And often, God doesn’t give us the entire blueprint. He gives us a step. And He says, Go.
This kind of faith isn’t theoretical. It’s wet, raw, and risky. It requires movement while fear whispers “Wait.” But God doesn’t part the waters from a distance. He responds when we move.
The Promised Land is not behind you. And it’s not going to fall into your lap while you camp at the river’s edge. Your Canaan begins with one thing: a step. Your Jordan is waiting.
Question of the Day:
What’s your Jordan right now, and are you willing to step in even while the waters are wild?
Let’s Pray:
Lord, I stand at the edge of what looks impossible. Give me the courage to step forward, trusting that You will make a way, even before I see it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
