Some of us have grown far too comfortable in the wilderness. Not because God left us there—but because we stopped moving. We’ve adapted to spiritual dryness like it’s normal. It’s not. You weren’t rescued from Egypt just to camp out in a desert of fear, complacency, or defeat.
Think about it: the Israelites were out of Egypt, but they hadn’t stepped into Canaan. Forty years of wandering—not because the promise was far, but because their mindset was. They feared the giants, doubted their strength, and forgot the power of the God who split seas.
Sound familiar? How many of us live saved—but stuck? Forgiven—but fruitless? We’ve been delivered, but we haven’t crossed over. We’ve settled in the wasteland.
And yet, God still speaks: “Arise. Go over this Jordan.” That’s not just history—that’s a call to every believer who’s been circling spiritual dry land too long.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel.” — Joshua 1:2 (ESV)
God didn’t bring you out to leave you half-finished. The wilderness is not your home. It’s time to stop surviving and start living in the victory Jesus already won for you. Don’t confuse being saved with being victorious.
The Jordan stands between where you are and where God wants to take you. It’s not a barrier—it’s a step of trust.
Question of the Day:What’s the “Jordan” in front of you today—and are you willing to step into God’s promise?
Let’s Pray:Father, we don’t want to wander any longer. Give us the boldness to rise, trust You, and move forward into Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
