There have been three specific times in my life that I know I should have died, if not for the divine protection of the Lord. One of those times I survived a head-on collision. I know that I am still alive because I have a God-destiny to complete.

You know, God brings you through things. He may have not brought you too it, maybe that was your choice or something that happened to you, but whatever it is he can bring you out on the other side.

In Joshua 3 and 4 we find the story of God bringing his people, the Israelites through another body of water. This time they had to cross the River Jordan to journey into the Promised Land. God brought them through. And when they got to the other side the Lord instructed them to take twelve stones and build a memorial so that when their children pass by, they should ask what those stones mean. Joshua instructed the people to remember when God brought their families through to the other side ˆ into the Promised Land.

Has God brought you through a mess? Were there times that you felt like you would surely die, but God kept you? Look back on your life and remember those times. Build your faith-believing he can do it again.

Whatever river you are facing - whatever circumstance is trying to drown you, know that God wants to bring you through it. Allow him to redeem whatever was lost in sin and disappointment to bring you through, into the place where you can become the who you were meant to be.
