In the amazing account of the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land, when they came to the final barrier that was the Jordan River, not only was the river miraculously parted, but they crossed over on dry ground, as if water had never been there. The evidence of improbability was the dry ground. It wasn’t a sign and wonder because it was possible, but because it was impossible. After the last person passed through, Joshua had young men from each of the twelve tribes to gather large stones from the river bed to represent each tribe, and they were placed where the priests had stood firm on dry ground. The stones were to be a memorial and a reminder…for them and their children, and their children’s children for all time, to be able to recite the promise of, “As I was with Moses, so shall I be with you.” There are moments for all of us when we need to go back to our own memorial stones and remind ourselves and our children of our stories of Yahweh’s faithfulness. Remember the glory of where you’ve been, and see the glory of where you are going. “Faithful is He who called you, who also will do it.”
