親愛的訪友, 今日的曠野筵席必須帶信心來享用。不是您可以靠自己渡過約但河, 而是主的約柜在扶持保障您。

二月十六日

「抬耶和華約柜的祭司在約但河中的干地上站定，以色列眾人都從干地上過去，直到國民盡都過了約但河。」（約書亞 3:13）

我們必須在信心里，看見神一切的子民，終有一天被帶進所應得的產業里去。這是神的目的，神也必定達到祂的目的。但為著要實現這一個目的，神需要一班人，甘心樂意站在死地；不只這樣，如果有需要的話，還要堅定不移的站在那里，「直到國民盡都過了約但河」。因這小隊抬著耶和華約柜的祭司，不怕死亡的威力，在約但河中的干地上站定，以色列全國的人民才能安然無恙的從干地上走過去，沒有留下一個人被遺棄在后面——請切切記得，不是祭司們憑著自己的本事完成這艱巨的任務，乃是耶和華的約柜，為他們開路，帶領他們進人應許美地。但我們也不可忽略，是祭司們把約柜帶到那里，也是他們抬著約柜站在那里。在死亡威力下，祭司堅強地与主一同站住，他們這信心的舉動，結果就叫別人獲得更丰盛的生命。弟兄姊妹，你和我是否已經准備好這樣做呢？

"The priests who carried the ark of the LORD stood still on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel passed over it until all the people had crossed the Jordan" (Joshua 3:13). 

We must see by faith one day that all God's people will be brought them into their promised inheritance. This is God's purpose, and God will surely carry on His purpose. But in order to do that, God needs a group of people who are willing fighting for Him to cross the Jordan River stand there , even without fear to die; not only for that, if necessary, they must stand steadfastly there, "until all the people have crossed over the Jordan River." . Because the priests who carried the Ark of the Lord stood firm on the dry ground in the Jordan River without fear of  death, all the people of Israel could walk across the river on the dry ground safely, leaving no one behind—please we must remember that the priests did not complete this arduous task by their own abilities, but by the ark of our Lord giving their faith to get into the promised land. But we must pay attention that the priests brought the ark, and stood steadfastly there holding the ark. By faith, they were standing firmly upon the Lord’s power to overcome the death, their faith acting for blessing others to gain a more abundant life. Brothers and sisters, are you and I ready to complete this great thing?
