Stay about half a mile behind them, keeping a clear distance between you and the Ark.

But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river’s edge, 16 the water above that point began backing up a great distance away at a town called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the town of Jericho.

Your wet shoes lead to a miracle and the miracle brings a testimony and your testimony creates a legacy that impacts generations.
3. We get our shoes wet so others can
(Joshua 3:17 NLT) Meanwhile, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant stood on dry ground in the middle of the riverbed as the people passed by. They waited there until the whole nation of Israel had crossed the Jordan on dry ground.
