—Joshua 5:8-12
by: Cheri Appel.
Unleavened cakes and parched grain sounds like carbs and more carbs to us, but after 14,600 days of eating manna, the children of Israel were ready for change! In God’s perfect timing, the previous generation of wandering slaves were gone. The new generation of nomadic warriors crossed through the Jordan River on dry land. God removed the reproach of Egypt. He had His people observe the Passover, reminding them of His deliverance, and then all their males were circumcised. Once again, they were blessed with Abraham’s covenant of obedience (Genesis 17:13) and were enjoying close fellowship with God. What change is God making your life?
