joshua 4:11-24 rolling stones
don batchelder Take me to 5-Day Devotional
In this powerful examination of Joshua 4, we're invited to reflect on the Israelites' pivotal moment of crossing the Jordan River. This wasn't just a geographical transition, but a spiritual one that challenges us to consider how we must change to follow God's leading. The story reminds us that obedience to God brings emotional responses, supernatural results, and a deep sense of reverence. As the Israelites kept their eyes on the Ark of the Covenant, we're encouraged to keep our focus on Christ. The message emphasizes that faith's greatest enemy is forgetfulness, while its most powerful ally is memory. Just as the Israelites set up stones of remembrance, we're challenged to recall God's faithfulness in our own lives, especially during difficult times. This passage urges us to step out in faith, even when we can't see the outcome, trusting in the God who parts waters and fulfills promises.
