Joshua 3
EARLY IN THE MORNING
The lives of the children of Israel were about to change. All they had known for the past forty years was how to wander around in the desert. Now at last, they were directly heading toward the Promised Land. For Israel, this was no ho-hum adventure. This was special. It was the fulfilment of all they had been waiting for.
The day had come. Joshua was now the leader of the people and they were about to make their move into the land. Were they going to sleep in, get up at lunch time and wonder how the day was going to pan out? Of course not!
The first thing we read is this: “Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.” (Joshua 3 v 1). This was to be one of the most important days in Israel’s history. All Israel got up early to make the most of it.
Most of the important things that happened in the Bible, happened early in the morning. But it is often the early morning that we waste by sleeping in bed. Mornings are the times that we can often come closest to God. So let us make tomorrow and every day a new beginning by getting up early in the morning, spending time with God and being responsive to his leadership.
May our days begin, be filled, and end with God.
With love in our Lord
