My mom is a wise woman. A while ago, she and I were talking on the phone about the big changes in my life. She told me that I needed to remember, to keep a memorial of what God did. I stepped out in faith to follow Him and He made things happen. I asked Him to speak to me and He gave me clear instructions.
It seemed scary at the time, but I had a job to fall back on and a place to live for free. My mom said to keep that memory, because there might come a day where God tells me to do something in faith and I won’t have practical things to fall back on. But I can look back and see that He took care of me once and He will continue to take care of me.
Joshua 4:6-7 - We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ Then you can tell them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant went across.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever.”
I was pretty sure if I set up a pile of rocks on Division, they would get knocked down, so I wrote it down in my journal and I tell people it often so I remember that He is much bigger than I.
What kind of memorials do you have?
