Scripture Union Daily Guide 14 August 2024 Outline:
The young Israelites had heard about the Red Sea from their fathers. Now they are to have their own experience of God’s miraculous power. Joshua was now being established as Moses’ successor as he leads his people. Leaders need private times with the Lord where their convictions are consolidated before they are shared in public (vs.7, 8).
Is God revealing something to you these days? Write it down before sharing with others. Note the specific regulations that must be followed before crossing the Jordan (vs.3-5). Why was it necessary for Joshua and his people to sanctify themselves? How and when should we consecrate ourselves?
God shows the Israelites that nothing is impossible with Him and that His promises are true. He indeed is a faithful God. Why did God choose to have these people cross the Jordan during a time when it was flooded rather than during the dry season? What would this miracle do to the faith of the Israelites? How is this helpful to your own faith?
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
CLOSING PRAYER
We praise you, oh Lord our God, for there’s nothing impossible with you.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Jeremiah 17:7 ‐ 8
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
