Joshua 3:5
Joshua 3:5
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Joshua 3:5 speaks of the importance of consecration and preparation before approaching the presence of God. In this verse, Joshua tells the people of Israel to consecrate themselves, for tomorrow, the Lord will do wonders among them. This verse emphasizes the need for a holy and pure heart when coming before God, recognizing His power and sovereignty. This verse is an invitation to draw near to God with reverence and awe, recognizing the holiness of His presence. The act of consecration involves setting oneself apart for the purpose of serving God and seeking His will. This requires a deliberate and intentional effort to put away anything that might hinder our relationship with Him. As we consecrate ourselves before God, we invite Him to work wonders in our lives and in the world around us. May this verse inspire us to approach God with the same reverence and holy fear that Joshua called the Israelites to have. Let us take the time to examine our hearts and consecrate ourselves before Him, knowing that He is faithful to do wonders among us. May we have the courage and faith to step forward into His presence, trusting in His power and grace to lead us forward.
