We usually want to respond boldly, what are the steps needed to respond this way?
Joshua rose early in the morning, and he and all the children of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they stayed there before they crossed over. 2 After three days the officers went through the camp, 3 and commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you shall set out from your place and go after it, 4 so that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed by this way before now. But between you and it there is about two thousand cubits; you shall not come near it. 5 Then Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you. 6 Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass over before the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went over before the people. 7 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “From this day on I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. 8 “Therefore you shall command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stop at the Jordan. ’” 9 Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come near and hear the words of the LORD your God.” 10 Then Joshua said, “By this you will know that the living God is among you, and that he will drive out before you the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite and the Jebusite.” 11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will pass before you into the midst of the Jordan. 12 Now therefore take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be divided; 14 When the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 when those who carried the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who carried the ark were dipped at the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks at all harvest time), 16 the waters that came down from above stood as if on a heap far from the city of Adam, which is beside Zaretan, and the waters that went down to the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were exhausted and were divided; and the people crossed over to Jericho. 17 But the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry land in the middle of the Jordan until all the people had crossed over the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry land.
Joshua 3.1-17
On many occasions we see throughout the Bible different leaders performing wonders and what would we respond to the Lord if he asks us to assume a leadership role as he asked Joshua? The Lord wants us to respond bravely in those occasions when he asks us to face challenges that go beyond our knowledge and ability, or we simply do not know, now the question is how can we do it?
To know God and know what he wants from us as well as all the privileges and benefits we have for being his children we find them in the Bible, in his word, and we must search for him as if we were searching for a treasure, his Holy Spirit helps us and guides us, it also gives us the ability to apply what we have learned in each situation.
This word on which we meditate every day shapes our life, our thoughts and actions, as soon as we apply the word of God to our lives, this word is reflected in our thoughts and actions.
I have hidden your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:11
