Reminders

With the advancement of technology, we have many resources to help us remember all sorts of things. I have Alexa who wakes me up at the time I need to get up. I have a google calendar that keeps track of birthdays and my anniversary. My watch reminds me it is time to check my blood pressure. But, what do we have to remind us of the goodness and greatness of our God? I want to encourage you to put reminders around your house (my wife has done this in our house). Put scripture in your office, on your mirror, even on a t-shirt. I urge you to make it a priority to remember your Lord and Savior.

Joshua 4:1-7 (NIV)

1 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,

2 "Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,

3 and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan from right where the priests stood and to carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight."

4 So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,

5 and said to them, "Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites,

6 to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, 'What do these stones mean?'

7 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."
