Remembering God's Greatness




...so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever.
Joshua 4:24

At the beginning at the end of Joshua 4 there is an account of the building of a simple stone monument on the banks of the Jordan River. Composed of 12 simple stones, it was meant to provoke a question from future generations: "What do these stones mean?" And the answer provided an opportunity to instruct that generation on the greatness of God Who delivered Israel. It also served as a means to witness the the entire nation, and even the world of what God does.

I have that chance to invest my life in these kinds of memorials. Not stones, but lives. Every life that I see transformed by the grace of Christ is just such a standing witness to the greatness of God. I remember God's greatness with each growth and victory, each answered prayer, each way in which we were there with each other in struggles and difficulties. It is a beautiful monument and inspiration.


- Prepare your minds for action.
1 Peter 1:13
