The drying up of the Jordan River is a powerful demonstration of God's ongoing faithfulness and miraculous intervention in the lives of the Israelites. Just as He parted the Red Sea to deliver them from Egyptian bondage, God now clears the path for them to enter the Promised Land. This act is not only a physical miracle but also a spiritual reassurance that God is with them, guiding and protecting them every step of the way. It serves as a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His ability to overcome any obstacle. By paralleling the crossing of the Jordan with the crossing of the Red Sea, the narrative reinforces the continuity of God's covenant with His people. This event is meant to instill confidence and faith in the Israelites, reminding them that the same God who delivered them from slavery is still actively working in their lives. It encourages believers to trust in God's promises and His power to make a way even when circumstances seem impossible.
For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.
Joshua 4:23
