We've crossed the Jordan: He lifted his eyes up

The Israelites had crossed the River Jordan and so surely the next step was to concentrate on how to be physically ready for the battles ahead? No! God appeared to Joshua as a theophany (recounted in Joshua 5) and Joshua quickly responded by worshipping God. Let us too be quick to respond when we encounter the living, holy and awesome God! Let Jesus wear His crown, without desiring to wear it ourselves. Let us do as God tells us to do, looking to Him as a priority every day. Amongst all the pressures and busynesses of our lives, let us follow Joshua's example and life our eyes to God. Our help comes from Him. "The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to Him and are safe!" (Proverbs 18:10) The script for the whole Service can be read here .
