Fearless Heart
"Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan." (Joshua 3:17 NKJV) Freedom from the burden of fear and anxiety is imagined in the atmosphere totally free from the source of any form of challenge. Even when the mysterious buildup of the upstream of Jordan river makes dry standing ground, common sense will invoke the fear of being swept away in the possible collapse of the imaginary wall before all the people had completely cross over. However, it was great confidence in the presence of God that enabled the priests to stand firm in the midst of the Jordan. Only heart whose trust stayed on God, who enables standing amidst the upsurge of tribulation and trials, remains fearless to the end of the battle of life.
