Crossing Over
Crossing over. Jars of Dirt did it. So did Sixpence None the Richer, Colonnade, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, and one of my personal favorites… Switchfoot.
Crossover is a music industry term. It refers to acts that "cross over" from 1 music category to another. When Jars of Clay, for example, scored a major hit with their song "Flood," they crossed over from the contemporary Christian music charts to the pop music charts. Sixpence did the aforementioned matter a couple of years later with their song, "Osculation Me" and at present Switchfoot's "Mean to Live" is a big crossover hit.
When a contemporary Christian music deed crosses over, the popular charts are like "uncharted" territory. The experience presents all sorts of challenges, non the least of which is contending for the faith within a more hostile environs.
The people of God take been "crossing over" into unfamiliar territory for many millennia.
When the nation of State of israel was preparing to cross over the Hashemite kingdom of jordan River into the Promised Land, the territory was unfamiliar. So God directed the Levites to carry the Ark of the Covenant offset – to stand for God's presence with His people - and the Israelites were to follow them.
The same advice works for you. If you are crossing over into unfamiliar territory--from loftier school to college, for example, or to a new job or a new abode--remember that God is with yous.
"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you lot back to this country. I will not leave you lot until I have done what I accept promised yous" (Genesis 28:15).

The artwork is known every bit a reverspective, an optical illusion on a three-dimensional surface where the parts of the picture which seem uttermost away are actually physically the nearest. Patrick Hughes was the original creator of this type of art.

We all go through periods when God seems afar. But just like a reverspective work of art, the times when He seems the furthest away are the times He is actually drawing the closest.
Don't let the spiritual illusion of reverspective to blind you to God'south presence and care for you. Look closer! He's right there! "Draw near to God, and he volition describe near to you" (James 4:viii NASB).
