Take a few steps into the river and stop there

Faith is the life of God's child. It is through faith that a righteous person has life. It is through faith that we enter and gain God's grace.
The Lod promised Joshua that he would be with him as he was with Moses. To let the people knew this, he asked the priests to carry the ark of the covenant, take a few steps into the river and stop there, when they reached the Jordan river.
It was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests touched the water at the river’s edge, the water was cut off, and the riverbed was dried up. All the Israel people crossed the Jordan river as they crossed the Red Sea.
Faith in the Lord is the life of God's child. What are the few steps of faith you need to take in your life ? Take the steps and enter the grace of the Lord.
Blessings
Bible verses,
The LORD told Joshua, “Today I will begin to make you a great leader in the eyes of all the Israelites. They will know that I am with you, just as I was with Moses. Give this command to the priests who carry the Ark of the Covenant: ‘When you reach the banks of the Jordan River, take a few steps into the river and stop there.’” Joshua 3:7-8 NLT
So the people left their camp to cross the Jordan, and the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them.
It was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, the water above that point began backing up a great distance away at a town called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the town of Jericho. Joshua 3:14-16 NLT
