Study the Life of David THE PLAN OF GOD FOR HIS PEOPLE
Joshua 3:1-5
God wanted Israel to live in a prosperous land the land of Canaan. This is the plan of God for Israel and also for us, to live in a prosperous life. But if we will look carefully we have our part. What is our part? It is to live in obedience to his words.  Paul understood it, he wrote;
1 Tim 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things,having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
1 - Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Sanctify Greek - qadash, kaw-dash';
consecrate, dedicate, being Holy, being purified, Godly living.
Godly living means, living in obedience according to the will of God.
2 - Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
It means, God's wonders and blessings are conditional.
3 - Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among
you.
It means, God's wonders and
blessings are received by the obedients, if they are not sanctified means no
wonders.
4 - Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
It means only God can make or
give blessings to us, not by our own ability or strenght. We are nothing
without God.
Sanctified life does'nt mean we are already perfect. It means a life being forgiven or washed.
1 Cor 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
God always has a people at all times.
Before Christ - The Israelites: God is still working today with signs, miracle and wonders. He will work for us if we obey him.
