God-First Life

In the Old Testament, the Israelites took the ark of the covenant everywhere they went. To them it represented the 'presence of ‪God‬'. It always went before them, being carried by appointed priests. It never followed them. They took it into battle with them, and again, it went first. Every time they did 

this, they won. Whenever they put God first, they won. 

They crossed the Jordan with it and as soon as the feet of the priests carrying it hit the water, the waters parted and they crossed over into the promised land.

Today we have the 'presence of God' living directly inside of us. We don't have to carry a heavy ark. Our burden is light!! But we walk around under the burdens of the world.

What if... What if we just put that 'presence of God' first?? What if we let Him lead us into battles and just let Him part the waters?? Didn't ‪‎Jesus‬ die for us to do that? To live IN ‪victory‬? Didn't He say 'it is done'? Rest in that!
