“Building A Memorial”
The book of Joshua chapter 3 recounts the story of when the Lord dried up the waters of the Jordan River so that the Israelites could cross over unto Jericho!
It was a miraculous event especially because the Bible said that this was during a time of harvest when the river waters were exceptionally high.
But nothing is too great for our awesome God!
As soon as the people were over, the Lord told Joshua to have twelve men, one from every tribe, grab a stone from the midst of the Jordan and carry it to their lodging place.
There they were to construct a monument from the twelve stones.
The purpose was simple:
When their children asked in times to come what the meaning of the twelve stones was, the monument would serve as a catalyst to tell the greatness of the Lord - To recount how He brought them over on dry ground unto Jericho!
Not soon after this awesome event, in Joshua chapter 6, the Bible tells how the children of Israel marched around the city of Jericho until the mighty walls came tumbling down!
Marching around that wall all those days, it didn’t look like anything was happening and even on the last day, when they had to march around several times, the people couldn’t see anything in the natural happening, but they had a memorial to look back upon!!
They had a memorial to remind them that because God had done it before, He was well able to do it again!!!
I want to encourage you today - what obstacles are you facing?
What troubles or trials or circumstances do you find yourself in today?
Can I tell you some great news?!!
God is Faithful!! He has done it before and He will do it again - He still heals, saves, and delivers!!
Take a moment today, right now even to recount the many things the Lord has done in your life, build that memorial to Him and His greatness, and be encouraged - He never changes!
If He did it before, He will do it again!
You may not see it or feel it - but He is working!
Tell somebody! Tell your children, your co-workers, your friends, your family, tell somebody what the Lord has done in your life!
When people ask, when your children ask in times to come: “Remember when such and such happened...”
Be bold and redeem that opportunity as an opportunity to brag on God!
Say “Yes I do, let me tell you what God did for me...”
remember: What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you!
In Christ,
