You have never been this way before. (Joshua 3:4)
In Chapter 3, Joshua admonishes the people to follow the Ark of the Covenant because they are about to go where no man had gone before... well, at least where no Israelite had gone in the last 400 years.
Following the Ark of the Covenant meant following Joshua and the nation's spiritual leadership. This is good advice. Pray for God to raise up a leader; trust Him to do so, and then follow that leader.
Our path always leads to someplace new. Even if we try to repeat decisions and events from former times, we are different, so our experience will be different. We can say with conviction, We have never been this way before.
Have you ever had to trust God to guide you into uncharted territory?
NOTE: I am out of town this week, and do not have wireless access for my laptop, so while I'm going to try to keep up my daily posts, they probably won't be adorned with pictures.
