Reading: **Joshua 3:1–17** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** Before entering the Promised Land, Israel faced the flooded Jordan River. The miracle came only after the priests stepped into the water in faith. What “Jordan River” are you facing today? God often asks us to take a step of obedience before He reveals the way forward.** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **“Father, give me the courage to step forward in faith even when I can’t see the outcome. Help me to trust that You will make a way.”** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Name your current “Jordan” in writing—whether a decision, relationship, or challenge—and surrender it to God in prayer. 2. Take one small, intentional step of faith toward obedience today.
