Do you remember the historical writing in the Bible, reporting the Children of Israel crossing the Jordon River on dry ground? God had told Joshua to have twelve men take stones from the middle and make a monument. "When your children ask, what do these stones represent? You tell them it's when you crossed over on dry ground because your God pushed it to the side."
I can imagine in my so called mind, many years later after conquering Canaan; Memorial Day Weekend and the summer vacations at the "Jordan River National Park." The children would run up to the grandparents or great grandparents, sitting under a shade tree, that had seen or heard about the crossing and ask: "What do those stones over there mean?"
"They are a monument for us to remember when God dried up that part of the Jordan, and our people walked safely across. We are here to remember and worship our God!"
I can see an elderly man say: "Thinking back these stones mean many things to us...."
"Yes sir?"
"These stones mean; God hears your cries. Like He did, when His people were in slavery."
"These stones mean; God delivers. Like he did His people."
"These stones mean; God saves by the Blood. Like He did His people when they applied the blood."
"These stones mean; God can trouble those that trouble you. Just as He did, drowning Pharaoh and his army in the sea."
"These stones mean; God leads you in your wilderness. Like He did our people."
"These stones mean; God can make a way where there is no way. As He did at the Red Sea and this river."
So now you can remember; God is in control and with God, all things are possible. What do you need today? deliverance? salvation? trusting God/faith? Let God meet you where you are. He can move in the miraculous for you, and then He can move in the miraculous through you. Love God Love Others!
