And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore. | ||
| Joshua 3:3-4 | ||
| “When you see the presence of God move, go after it,” the officers of the congregation said. I like that! Our God is on the move. And we must be those who go after Him. When they saw the Ark of the Covenant move, the Israelites were to follow it. Yet they were to follow at a distance of approximately half a mile. In this, it’s as if God was saying, “Follow Me, but don’t push Me.” People say, “I’m going to have the same experience that he or she or they had.” God, however, wants to take us where we’ve never been before. Therefore, it’s the wise man or woman who says, “Lord, I want Your anointing. And I’m going to give You space to work it out any way You choose.” Pastor Jon Courson | ||
