“All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go
Joshua 3:3
“As soon as you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God being carried by the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it. Yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about 2,000 cubits in length. Do not come near it, in order that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.
Numbers 10:29
“We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, ‘I will give it to you. ’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the Lord has promised good to Israel.” But he said to him, “I will not go. I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.” And he said, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us. And if you do go with us, whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you
We ask others to walk with us but are we giving any reason for it? Paul said “as I am following the Lord, follow me”. Joshua said “Follow the Ark of the Covenant in order that you may know the way shall go, for you have not passed this way before”. What are we using to guide us through each day? There are times we hit a day where we have no clue the path to take to get us through it. Being prepared is a very good way to start. Stay in God’s word, desire in your heart to know Him deeper, start the day with worship to Him, think about His word, Pray, ask God to open your eyes to those around you and how you might serve them in some way, listen to that quiet still voice of God, Obey His leading…… These are not Do’s and Don’ts but rather heart choices made with one single purpose: to honor and glorify God.
