Step out and Stop

Joshua 3:8 Give this command to the priests who carry the Ark of the Covenant: 'When you reach the banks of the Jordan River, take a few steps into the river and stop there.'" Without the obedience to step, the river wouldn't have dried up. Our obstacles are waiting for us to believe we can stand firm against them in the LORD.
As Christians we can no longer be afraid to put our toes into the water of evangelism. The cost of our fear and lack of obedience to God is the loss of souls throughout the world. Those souls will not just live in eternal darkness, but eternal suffering. God would not have that, but if we, who are His hands and feet upon this earth don't act quickly, many will die not choosing Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, never getting an opportunity to live out their eternal destinies with their Creator and God.
God didn't say to have the priests step in the water and save the world, He said for them to step in and stop, so He could show His power, strength, mercy, and grace. We don't have to worry about being miracle workers, because we are not. Only One is the God of Miracles, and He only needs us to follow His lead, not lead the way. The Way has already been provided, the Door has already been opened, just step out and stop-wait for God's guidance. Then be faithful to fulfill it.
