Bible text 📖
_"And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho. And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over: That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever."_ (Joshua 4:19-24)
📍TOPIC: MEMORIAL STONES
The children of Israel came out of the river Jordan on dry land. The moment the priests who carried the ark of the covenant in the midst of the river left, the water returned back to it position. Joshua has commanded earlier that a representative from each tribe should carry a stone from the midst of where the priests stood and the water dried up. The stones was meant to serve as a memorial stones for future reference about the great wonder that the Lord did in the sight of all His people.
It will come to a point in time that their children, the generation after them will ask for the meaning of the stones and it will be an avenue to testify to them about the great hand of the Lord which brought the people out on dry land in the midst of the river Jordan. The river Jordan wasn't a small river. It always overflow all his banks all the time of harvest). (Josh. 3:15). Yet, the Lord proved himself, as the Almighty and parted the river Jordan just as He did to the red Sea. 'That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty...'
Every wonders of God recorded in the Bible is meant to established the faith of everyone from generation to generation in the living God. The God we serve is a great God. He's the same yesterday, today and forever. He has raised up a memorial stones unto all generation that they may know His mighty works and know that He's the God of heaven and the earth. If, you believe in the Lord with all your heart, you will never be ashamed.
