Don't Settle for Muddy Ground

[S] Joshua 3:17 --
17  And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.

[O] What amazes me is how the mud at the bottom of the river became dry ground for the Israelites to walk across. That is, couldn't God have just let the people walk across through the muddy ground?  This is where I am so blessed by God's perfect and complete provision for us in order to fulfill His purposes and to reveal His glory in the midst of that.  God doesn't just put together some solution to barely meet the goals.  He will provide it all and in completion. Serving such a God is a good thing but the only catch is that we need to fully abide in Him in order to receive His complete blessings.

[A] Don't settle for a muddy ground when God has a dry ground for me to walk on.

[P] Dear Father, I want o pursue Your perfect provisions for my life and not settle for the muddy ground.  I want to do that by learning Your heart through Your word.  Please show Your grace for my life to be molded for Your glory.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
