TALKING STONES

Joshua 4: 1-3

And It came to pass, when all the people were completely passed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying, "Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, and command ye them, saying, 'Take here out of the  midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night."

REMEMBER, GOD IS FAITHFUL

The LORD commanded Joshua to set up stones of remembrance of the mighty work of GOD in the lives of the people, when they crossed over the Jordan River into the promise. These stones would be a visible reminder of the fact that GOD is always faithful and His promises are sure. "GOD made a way when there seemed to be no way." This is a quote from our Pastor to the people on Sunday. We should remember this simple phrase and write it on our heart. GOD IS FAITHFUL GOD made a way when there seemed to be no way.

In our troublesome times of life, it is good to have a visual reminder of the fact that the LORD GOD is faithful and that He will show the way, all we have to do is follow. Mother Angelica calls the visual reminders, "Holy Reminders". Gather together reminders of how the LORD has led you through the deep waters of life. Keep those reminders very close to you. Some people write journals, describing the way the LORD moved in their life; some have pictures or other mementos to remind them. Always keep before you the Holy Reminders of how GOD IS FAITHFUL TO YOU.
