over this Jordan. Just what this com
mand signified we will inquire, for
this was at the flood tide, when ,the
mow of the mountains of Lebanon,
were making the river Jordan a
raging torrent. The river was brim
ming full, from bank to bank,, with
no bridges, no ferry and with many
more than two million people to
cross, and the command came impar
ative. Arise, go over this Jordan, and
all the people. With no means vis
able and many of the people murmer
ing at that, it was no lignt task to
go over this Jordan. The Lord said
unto Joshua, be strong and of a good
courage, and as I have been with
Moses, so will I be with you. Joshua
Jcnew that the Lord had stopped the
Egyptians in the Red Sea. and made
a way for the Israelites to pass over,
and when Jehovah said, as .1 have
been with Moses so Will I be with
you he was well assured no matter
what obstacle came in the way God
would be with him and protect him
and find a way for, him to obey the
command, and we find that Joshua
was indeed every ready to tackle any
undertaking however difficult it
might look, when the Father had said
fln ,t jnshna commanded tho noonlA to
prepare food for three days and; then
with the river raging. a veritable tor
rest, he commanded those who bare
c
the Ark of the Covenant to go for-
ward, and they marched boldly until!
their, feet .were dipped jn the. brink I wkers of Omaha were here and had
of the river, when, the waters -wereore of their always pleasing programs
stayed, and the waters above 'were' of popjlar and late danca music to
fceld in ttieir place -.and :.tS :ieafie?tearrL.tiij
'.below ran away leaving, practically -until .-a l late hour. " . '
iArV place for t lie .children of Isreal
to pass over. Then was the Ark of
the Covenant and the people who bare
it, and the people passed around it
and over the river. As they went they ,
took twelve stones from the bed of.
the river and with these twelve stones '
each representing a tribe of Israel
and with this they erected an altar
on which sacrifice was burned to the
Great Jehovah, the creator of the
heavens and the earth and all that in
,them is. When we have a difficult
problem we should remember the
courage which carried Joshua with
the faith, which he had in his Father,
through all the difficulties which
came to him. We are faced with
many a serious problem In our lives,
and it depends upon how we look at
them and what we do whether we
overcome them or they carry us down
to defeat and failure.
We are to remember what God said
to Joshua, be strong and of a good
courage for I surely will be with thee
in everything which thou doest, as I
was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
We are to learn sooner or later that
when we are working with God that
we will succeed and when we say
working with God we mean just that,
not pertending to.'and fearing all the
time we are going to fail. We say of
a truth sometimes, "Well I failed
just as I expected to." Had we ex
pected to have won, we would have
stood much better a chance to have
accomplished what we set out to do.
As it was the experience of the
Israelites that when they obeyed Jeho
vah the succeeded, and when they
forgot Him and went after strange
gods, they failed and were also easily
beaten in battle. It has been said that
an army of deerfi led by a lion, is
more fomidable than an army of lions
led by a deer.
We have got to believe in God and
do his will in order to attain eternal
life, and we have got to believe in
ourselves and our ability to do the
things which we are striving, or we
are a failure in the first. To him who
has an abiding faith of Jehovah, and
himself and is willing to work, there
is scarcely anything that can over
come him. True we often say that
a good man failed and died poor, but
if he was a follower of the Lowly
.Nazarene, his life was a success no
matter how the world looked at it.
The eighth verse of the first chap
ter of Joshua says. "This book of the
Law, shall not depart out of thy
mouth, but thou shalt meditate there
on day and night that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that
written therein, for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous, and then
shalt thcu have good success."
In this we may take courage for
as Jehovah spoke unto Joshua, so He
speaks unto us at this time. Then the
Lord puts it in another way and
says to Joshua, "Have not I command
ed the, 'be strong and of good cour
age. be not affrightened. neither be
thou dismayed, for Jehovah, thy God.
is with thee w hethersoever thou
goert."
Success dees not come by accident
to the people, there is a cause, and
that cause? i our. attitude to the en
terprise vrhiChwe are engaging in.
Abraham had cattle on a thousand
hill3, because he was a friend of Gad.
Job was blessed though in a test h(f
was stripped of his wealth, his fam
ily, and he was tormented with gre
vious boils, still he held hi3 trust in
God, and like the passage w hich says,
seek first the kingdom of God and
his rightousness and all these things
will be added unto you. The earth
is th Lords and the fullness thereof,
and why should it not be reasonable
that the friends of God no matter,
how many there be, should also pros
per in basket and store, as well as the
greater blessings of peace and right
eousness. MABSTED AT COUNCIL BLUFFS
