That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever. — Joshua 4:24

The LORD miraculously led the Israelites across the Jordan River during the flood season out of his love for his people and to keep his promises. He was also telling his people something important about himself. He always wanted Israel to treat him with “reverence.” He also wanted Israel’s enemies to be so scared that they would shake. It’s true. God and his people won a big victory because of their faith.

Prayer

You are clothed in righteousness and bathed in glory, holy and mighty God. I want to treat you the way you deserve to be treated—with respect and reverence. I apologize for not treating you with the reverence and respect you deserve in the past. Please pardon me for not holding up your name as holy when it was being abused by others. You are deserving of my love, life, and everything else. I want to sing your praises forever and ever. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
