True faith is focused in and on the Lord Jesus Christ and always leads to action. Consider this powerful example:
Under the leadership of Joshua in the Old Testament, the children of Israel transported the ark of the covenant. The Israelites came to the River Jordan and were promised the waters would part—that they would be able to cross over on dry ground.
Interestingly, the waters did not part as the children of Israel stood on the banks of the river waiting for something to happen; rather the soles of their feet were wet before the water parted. The faith of the Israelites was manifested in the fact that they walked into the water before it parted.
How many times in our lives do we want the waters to part so we can
cross over on dry ground? Trusting in God enables us to press forward
with a brightness of hope into uncertain and often challenging
situations.
