Memorial Stones

… “And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.”

 

Do milestones mark your faith journey? When you look back on your life, is there a thread, which tells of the faithfulness of the living God in your life?

When God does something great in your life celebrate it. Do something to remember it. Memorial markers should mark your faith journey.

The Lord had 12 men take a stone out of the Jordan River during the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River. They carried their stones out on their shoulders and set them up as a memorial for their children and children’s children to see. In the future when their children would inquire of the significance of these stones they could share of the faithfulness of the living God in their lives.

They shared their testimony of how they were at a place of great dependence on God and He walled up the waters and the whole nation of Israel crossed the Jordon River on dry ground.

What does your memorial look like? A picture framed and hung on the wall for all to see, your testimony written in your journal and read aloud to your children, special celebrations when you take time to remember the goodness of God as a family?

Don’t let your testimony die.

Share it with your children. Decree the goodness of the Lord to the next generation.

Take the time and ask the Lord how your memorial is to look like. Then display your testimony for all to see. In doing so, faith is kept alive and the obstacle you went through to get your testimony is also the doorway into your promise.

Father, You have marked my life with Your goodness and provision. As You direct me, I will set up my memorial as a sign and wonder for the next generation to see.

Thank You for taking me from being stuck behind an obstacle to walking through the doors of opportunity You have created for me. I will declare of Your goodness to the next generation. I will shout aloud, that the Lord my God is great and He alone has rescued me and saved me and placed me in a spacious place.
