By Faith

In the beginning of the Israelites wilderness journey, God did a miraculour thing by parting the Red Sea so that they could be safe from the enemy chasing them. The people's part in this event was to step into the water.  They, by faith, took that first step and God parted the way for them.
At the end of this long journey, they stood on the banks of the Jordan River looking across to the land that God had long ago promised their forefathers.  What a wonderful sight that must have been!  Only one problem, the Jordan River had overflowd its banks and they couldn't see any way across.
Then God did another miraculous thing.  After the people, by faith, stepped into the wateer, He parted the way for them.  The lesson here for us is: God wants you to have the faith to rely on Him. You might get your feet wet but He won't let you drown.
