As we begin a new year, we, like Israel, stand at a river separating us from our tomorrows. For each of us it might be a different circumstance. In the looming challenge we know we can only cross over if God does a miracle. In the conquest of tomorrow we will never possess all the possibilities without God’s power and presence.
God wants us to cross over the rivers in our lives that separate us from our tomorrows. He determines the exact time, and He will do a miracle in order for us to cross. Entering our tomorrows means that God wants to press us past where we are today, He wants to demonstrate His power in and through us, and He wants to use us to transmit a testimony to a new generation. We must believe and respond to Him in faith and cross over.
What is involved in making up our minds to enter tomorrow? We can talk about it. We can dream about it. We can believe for it, and even make resolutions, but there is a point where we must rise in faith and cross over though the timing and circumstances are not suitable. We need great faith to move into a miracle, to progress in a miracle and to memorialize the miracle when it is over.
