"And They Are There Unto This Day..." By Dr. Winson Butler
Contributed by Winson Butler on Jul 13, 2004 (message contributor)
Summary: When God prepares to do something wonderful, He begins with a difficulty. When He plans to do something very wonderful, He begins with an impossibility. Let me show you how!
Introduction
No matter the size of one’s obstacle or difficulty God’s promise is always bigger. He has never made a promise that He couldn’t keep!
Even when the river of your life has swollen, God will and does make a way.
Israel knew the feeling too well. Under the leadership of Joshua they find themselves at the brink of the Jordan River. However, this wasn’t the first time.
Standing between them and their promise from God was an obstacle. It appeared to be an impossible victory. Yet, God was about to increase their faith and teach them a lesson on the importance of relying on Him!
