“When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before…” This was the word of the Lord to Joshua in Joshua 3 after Moses died and the Israelites were to go and take possession of their inheritance.
The ark of the Lord represents the presence of the Lord; God’s being. So invariably God is saying – “Let me be your guide”. You have not gone through this day, week, month or year before so really you don’t know which way to go. I have, for I declare the end from the beginning. So, let me lead you.”
One thing that was, and is required though is consecration. Just as the Israelites had to set themselves apart for God, we also have to be committed to aligning with God in all ways. Our lives, dedicated to His will and purpose. It is when we are at this point that following wherever He leads becomes easier. So, if you want God’s direction and guidance to help you achieve all that He has in store for you, it starts with you. Live your life for God then you will really live your life. For except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it abides alone. May our walks always be in step with that of God.
