Jos 3:13And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
There are times when the will of God for us, is to wait. For the anxious individual this can be a challenge in its self!
In Luke 24:29 the disciples were to tarry ye in Jerusalem until they were endured with power from on high.
Isaiah admonished us by declaring But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...
Here in Joshua 3:13 we see the waiting time is over, it is now time to move forward.
1) What they Faced: When the river was over flowing its banks. When the logical thing to do was wait, The word was for them to go forward. Before they ever got to the river, waters were already up to their ankles. What must be going on in their minds?
2. What they Found: When they Step into the over flowing water, The Overflowing Word was greater than the Overflowing Water!
They held the key to unlock the gate into the Land of Promise in their own hands or hearts I should say, and the gate would not begin to turn on its hinges until they had approached and unlocked it. The key was faith.

God does not always remove the barriers before he commands us to obey. Sometimes He would have us to take that step of Faith!
Are you held up today waiting on God to make it simple or easier? Why not just obey the WORD and then watch THE LORD make away.
