When Joshua led the people of Israel across the Jordan River, he directed them to choose twelve memorial stones and set them on the banks of the river. The stones came from the Jordan River itself. When they were placed on the banks, God told the people of Israel that their sons and daughters would ask them in the future what these stones mean, and at that time, the story of God parting the river would be told.

Israel’s inheritance of their Promised Land was inextricably tied to the fact that they remembered the great work that God did in bringing them across the Jordan River. The memorial stones served as a beacon of remembrance to generations that came later, so that what God had done would never be forgotten and buried.

In our current day, there are countless acts of the supernatural workings of God breaking into everyday life. More and more, we see and experience the impossible things happen. We must be the ones who set up the memorial stones so that our kids’ kids will know of the goodness of God for them.

What stories do you have in your own personal life of what God has done in you and through you? Set a memorial stone and let somebody know.
