Joshua 3:13 And as soon as the priests who carry the Ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap.
God instructed Joshua to have the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant step into the Jordan River.
The waters of the Jordan were at flood stage, making it a daunting task for the israelites to cross.
However, God promised to be with them and to part The waters so that they can cross over safely into the promised land.
This act of crossing over the Jordan river holds profound symbolic significance.
It represents a transition from one season to another, from the old to the new.
In the same way, New Year's Eve marks the end of one year in the beginning of another.
As the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, people around the world gather to celebrate the end of one year in the beginning of another.
It is a time of reflection, celebration, and anticipation for the year ahead.
Just as the israelites had to step out in faith and trust God to part the waters of the Jordan, we too must approach the New Year with faith and courage.
Crossing over into a New Year requires as to let go of the familiar and step into the unknown, trusting that God will lead and guide us along the way.
We may encounter obstacles and uncertainties that seem insurmountable.
However, we are reminded of the importance of trusting in God's guidance and provision, knowing that God goes before us and makes a way where there seems to be no way.
Everlasting Father, let your abiding presence guide me as I cross over into the New Year.
Those who follow the leading of God's presence by faith can never regret the journey of their lives.
