Joshua 4:6-9; “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.” So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the Lord had told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down. Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.” Why were these stones here? They were there to remind others and share God’s wondrous grace and miracles. God has brought Israel out of slavery and has guided them as they defeated their enemies. God also has brought us out of situations and has guided us defeating our struggles! God has done something in us and something new- let’s testify!!! Let us be witnesses to God’s amazing works in our lives. Let’s live out Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…to the ends of the earth.”
