The following verses are a message through Moses and Joshua taken from the NIV.
“The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.” Deut. 28:13
“Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.” Deut. 28:14
“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan from right where the priests stood and to carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.” Josh. 4:2-3
“Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.” Josh. 4:9
“Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the LORD had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over, and as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the LORD and the priests came to the other side while the people watched.” Josh. 4:10-11
“Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Command the priests carrying the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan. So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.” Josh. 4:15-17
“And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before.” Josh. 4:18
“On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho. And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their fathers, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ For the LORD your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is powerful and so that you might always fear the LORD your God.” Josh. 4:19-24
No matter who you are, where you come from, what tribe or family you represent—you (WE) are of God’s chosen people whom He will not leave behind. Through the path He sets before us and the walk of obedience, the blessing—the testimony—is yet ahead…
