Jos 4:23,24 “for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over, that all the people of the earth my know that the hand of the lord is mighty, so that you may fear the Lord your God forever.
The crossing of the Jordan river by the Israelites to the promised land was not an ordinary but a supernatural occurrence. The priest stood on dry ground while the people crossed on dry ground. The water was cut off until all the Israelites had completely crossed over the river.
And this is something they were not to forget. Joshua set up the twelve memorial stones at Gilgal. The purpose was to declare God’s might to all the people of the earth and to encourage Israel to fear the Lord forever.
The conclusion of the year 2020 and crossing over to year 2021 is not an ordinary occurrence but a extraordinary one. That all of us are “alive and kicking” is a miracle! It can only be compared to crossing Jordan at the flood stage. Let the people of the earth know that the hand of the Lord is mighty! This far the Lord has brought us.
