Reading this, I thought to myself, okaaay.? If God had told me such things, I would have said yes on the front but never dipped my feet in the river flowing so fiercely.
Then, God promises that the waters flowing downstream will be cut off for the people to cross the river safely. At that time, God orders Joshua to simply take twelve men carrying the Ark of the Covenant and set their feet in the river to cross. In order for them to go to their land, they need to cross the river, which is impossible with all of their women, children, and supplies. In their journey to the Promised Land, Joshua and his people are faced with the Jordan River. For those of you who are not familiar with Bible stories, Joshua is one of Moses’ disciples leading the Israelites to the land of promise. Last Saturday, we read chapter 3 in the book of Joshua. Through these meetings, I am able to continue my walk-of-faith and enjoy everyday life! I learn to have new perspectives on matters that I thought were problems in my life and gain wisdom to overcome those issues. Reading the Bible scriptures, I restore a lot of faith that I frequently lose during the exhausting stressful school days. Once I actually am awake, I enjoy the Bible study so much. I know this sounds kind of weird, but what I mean is I feel so happy and invigorated after going to these meetings.
Why do I do this to myself? Frankly, I ask this to myself all the time, but it’s because I know this is the only way for me to survive. I mean what is wrong with sleeping until 12 pm on weekends? However, it always seems to be the case that I force myself to get up and go to the meetings. I would just give my friends a smile, but to tell the truth, it is very tiring to get up early when everyone else is sleeping on weekends. Some of my friends would ask how I manage to wake up so early in the morning on Saturdays to go to church when I also do the same thing on Sundays. On Saturday mornings, I attend Bible study group meetings.
