“For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.”
Joshua 4:10 KJV
While the priests remained standing in the middle of the Jordan with the ark on their shoulders, the people hurried across. All the instructions Yahweh had given to Joshua were carried out - just as Moses had told Joshua. For the priests to stand still for many hours with the heavy ark on their shoulders was a test of their strength, patience and courage. We, as priests in the Kingdom of God possess these same qualities because we are in Christ - our High Priest Who surely bore our sins, iniquities, transgressions, curses, sicknesses and every evil work of satan on the Cross and destroyed it. That’s why we are strong in the Lord Jesus and in the power of His might; we are patient and courageous as we come out victorious like the Joshua of old and our heavenly Joshua - the Lord Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!
