My assignment is different than yours

Exodus 14:21-22
then Moses stretched out his hand, over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

Joshua 3:9-13 
Joshua said to the Isrealites, "Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. this is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hitties, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites. See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord - the Lord of all the earth - set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream, will be cut off and stand up in a heap." 

Exodus 34:26 
"Brings the best of the first fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk. "

Each person is told to do something (in this case Moses stretched out his hand, but Joshua's men walked into the water), and when they are obedient and do it, God's promise is revealed and becomes real. 

We each have something we are told to do.

Go. Act. Do.
