Morning Meeting

“Come and listen to what the Lord your God says.” Joshua 3:9

It’s 6:00 am and the Lord has called a morning meeting. Will you attend or sleep in?

Before the Israelites crossed the Jordan River the Lord told Joshua to stop the craziness and busyness and get everyone together for a very important meeting.

What was so important about this meeting? The LORD needed to give them instructions on what was about to happen, what everyone’s roll was, and how things needed to be handled.

If the Israelites would have failed to come to the meeting and listen they would have possibly been swept away by the Jordan River, could have died, and would have missed out on God’s amazing miracle.

But they all showed up and because of that God’s plan was carried out and His miracle and power was spread throughout the land.

What did God do, He cut off the flow of water upstream so the river would pile up there in one heap, thus drying up the riverbed for the people to cross. (Joshua 3:13)

The Lord has special instructions and plans for each of us, but unless we show up to the meeting we will not know what those plans are. We will miss out on what He wants to do in us and through us.

All of us have very busy days, but there is nothing in our day that should take precedence over our meeting with Christ. We need Him in order to get through our busy day.

So let’s get up in time to attend the most important meeting of our day. Let’s come and listen to what the Lord our God says. Let’s let Him give us instructions for the day. That way we don’t miss out on His miracles and blessings.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to just hear what God is doing or has done, I want to be apart of it.

Jesus I don’t want to miss out on what You are doing or the instructions and purpose You have for me each day. Nor do I want anyone else to miss out. If we do nothing else in this life I pray we are consistent in our meeting with You. Amen
