Proverbs 3:5-6
Have you ever stood on the edge of something new, afraid to move forward? Israel faced that moment at the flooded Jordan River. With nothing but God’s word, the priests stepped in—and the waters stopped. It was only after they moved in faith that the path was revealed. So often, we want certainty before action. But God calls us to trust before the way becomes clear. When we let go of our own understanding and lean fully into His promises, we find that He’s already gone before us. Faith isn’t about seeing the outcome—it’s about believing in the One who holds it. In your own life, what Jordan River are you standing in front of? Take the first step. Trust that God will make the path straight, just as He did for Israel. He’s still the same faithful guide today.
