Crossing The Jordan River

«Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.» Joshua 3:11

It was early in the morning when Joshua called the people to continue their journey! They would walk toward the Jordan River. They arrived near the river and spent three days camped there.

Soon they received the order: “When the priests begin to carry the ark, everyone must follow it!” And the people obeyed.

Suddenly, the priests stopped in front of the great Jordan River! “And now? Where do we go?” The people were worried.

But as soon as the priests put their feet on the water, the great current stopped flowing. A giant wall of water formed, and the ground became dry. Everyone was able to cross safely over the path in the middle of the river!

As soon as the priests took their feet out of the water, the river returned to normal!

Let’s practice!

Can you imagine crossing the Jordan with the people? Can you draw a picture of this great miracle that God did?
