The One Year Bible - Day 101

Joshua 3: “When you see the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, move out from your positions and follow them".
How profound and important but how easily missed or ignored. Life is about balance, our relationship with God is about balance. Here we see one way in which we require balance. You follow the Ark, which represents God's presence.
There are those of us who are impulsive or egotistical and we move before the Ark has moved. There are others who are fearful and do not move even when the Ark has moved on. Balance is when we go only when the presence of God goes before that. We must resist human wisdom and impulse which leads to error and we must overcome fear which prevents us being everything we can be.
