a blog that is DEFINITELY confirmation in my life right now :
As we stand in line at 'The Bank' ready to cash in our Wilderness for our Walk across the Jordan, we can barely comprehend the exchange taking place. A separation from the old pattern of doing things, somehow integrates with the new way, of how things will be done...
It is a place of eager anticipation, release and acceptance. For even if we can't swim,there is the longing to jump into Our Jordan and somehow navigate to the other side... But down deep, grafted in our spirits is the lesson of The Wilderness... The reminder that mere emotions can lead us astray. Reminding us that it is The road map of The WORD that keeps us purpose-filled, focused and on track. It was the re-shaping of our will that has brought us to this cross-over, called The Bank... It is at The Bank where transactions of Pain-Staking Investment, Heart Breaking Sacrifice and Purpose Rendering Pressures are cashed in for The Promises of God. It is here, we remember our Deuteronomy 29:5 testimony of somehow, always having shoes, clothes, lights gas and transportation that never got old, went off and seemed to make it...
When you put the pedal to the metal of your mind, you realize the average man/woman would not even be standing here... had not GOD kept us
Now there is a multitude behind us and the possibility of drowning, before us. With non-negotiable convictions we realize that it isn't our ability to walk, that will carry us across. No! It is observation of and obedience to the voice we have been hearing over our 40 year old journey... It is the word written and prophesied that will cause the flow of our doubts, worries and fears to part as we step out on the solid, dry groundings of our faith. It is our arms lifted as we shoulder the covenant that arcs us in relationship with OUR FATHER.
"Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."
Joshua 3:5
