Set Apart: A Call to Consecration

by Brett Fuller on January 03, 2022

As the people of Israel were preparing to cross the Jordan river and enter the Promised Land, Joshua tells them in Joshua 3:5, "...Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."

Consecration is the intentional setting aside of something or someone for a specific purpose. In this case a people for God. It is interesting to note that promises were made generations ago that this land was to be theirs. God had destined them for this crossing. It was their inheritance, still they had to prepare themselves for the moment.

There are future intersections of blessings which God has foreordained. Yet, without the proper consecration, it is possible to experience movement without progress-- sort of like a man on a treadmill. Don't let your efforts be for not. Set yourself apart for God so you will be ready when it's your time to cross into your land of promises. Live right, live well...
