In this portion of God’s Word, the Israelites are preparing to go into the promised land. They come up to the Jordan River and wait for 3 days. Then, God calls them to consecrate themselves, and He gives Joshua instructions on they will be able to go past the Jordan River, and into the promised land. By taking a look at this passage of God’s Word, we can see how we are able to be fearless when God calls us to do something intimidating.
