"Consecrate Yourselves"

Yesterday the Lord directed me to Joshua 3. This is the story of the Israelites crossing the Jordan. Verse 5 says, "Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you." Then here is what I had written in the margin several years ago, and it really spoke to me again yesterday.

"Be prepared. Heart tender and sensitive to God's leading. Keep building the relationship with the Lord so you know His voice when He leads."

We don't always understand what is going on in our life. Neither do we know what tomorrow will bring. But in the meantime, what we can do is consecrate ourselves. Set yourself aside for the sole purpose of obedience to His holy leading by being with Him in complete surrender.
