Day 127...(Joshua 1, 2; Psalm 127; Matthew 4)..."The River Region"

I hear the Montgomery, Autauga, and Elmore region referred to as the "river region." In today's Joshua reading I noticed how there was a crossing of Israel over the River Jordan. Jesus was baptized in river Jordan. After Jesus' trials in the desert, He began preaching and healing as people came for healing across the River Jordan. This "River Region" is precious real estate in the Kingdom of God. Within a few miles Jesus is baptized, He sends Satan away after a series of testing in the desert, and He begins a ministry of preaching saying..."repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

Psalm 127 says it so convincingly..."unless the Lord builds the house it will not stand." The theme of building God's way or destroying through disobedience continues.
