About 40,000 ready for war passed over before YHWH for battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 4:13

These men weren't the whole force from the eastern tribes. They were men from all the tribes, serving as an armed escort while the rest of the people crossed the Jordan and set up camp.

"Before YHWH" doesn't mean ahead of him in time or space, but more like "under his oversight" like a commander reviewing the troops as they pass by.

The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh passed over armed before the people of Israel, as Moses had told them.
Joshua 4:12

Those who have received their reward are not free to rest on it, but have an obligation to help their brothers reach theirs as well.

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my father’s commandments, and abide in his love."

Jn 15

Faith is more than simply believing, faith needs to become action. One can believe a chair will not break if one sits on it, but the action of sitting on that chair displays faith. Jude 1:3 mentions “the” faith entrusted once for all the saints. Exodus chapters 20 — 23 reveal how we display our faith and put that faith into action.

Thought for Today: Thursday July 24

If I must compare, I would say that the people of this world today, has become like the people in Jeremiah’s day. Jeremiah 8:12: “they have no shame at all, they do not even know how to blush!” If people, and some believers, wants to be pure and holy, they must commit themselves --- mind, body and spirit --- completely to the Moshiach. You cannot hold back any area of your life from Him. Secondly, you have to avoid situations that may encourage impure thoughts or actions. And lastly, you must fill your heart and mind with the Moshiach by feeding your soul on a daily diet of prayer and YHVH’s Word. Faith in YHVH, and to follow the Moshiach is free.
