Joshua 1-4
Today's reading brings back a pleasant memory from more than twenty years. When I preached at the Black Canyon Church of Christ our little ones, mostly comprised of our deacons children, would sing Joshua 1:9. It was simply adorable to hear them sing the verse, and then proudly proclaim the scripture reference. Milestones such as this help us to remember God's blessings. I guess you could say that's what these first four chapters are about. From Rahab encouraging the Israeli spies to not forget her, to God having the twelve tribes take up stones from the middle of the Jordan to make a memorial, God encourages us to remember the milestones of our faith. Do you have a song, ribbon, or stone that aids you in remembering what God has done, or is promising to do, in your life? If not, perhaps you need to pile up some metaphorical stones that raise questions from others, so that you might give an answer for the hope that lies within you!
