"Consecrate
yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord
will do amazing things among you."
Joshua
3:5, NIV
Joshua's
command to "consecrate yourselves" is meant for today. Many of us are stuck in cycles of "getting
ready to get ready" which means doing our own thing today while promising time for God tomorrow. However,
Joshua's command is a "right now" assignment so that we will be prepared for
what God has in store.
Join us
this week and bring a friend as we hear a word from God about consecrating ourselves and Getting Ready for Amazing Things!
