Joshua 4:1-3

The Command

Take 12 men (one form each tribe)
Send them back into the midst of the Jordan
not “Hey on your way over. pick up a stone.”
With the whole nation of Isreal looking on, these 12 men went back into the midst of the Jordan and brought out 12 stones (on thier shoulders)
This was an event. God was making a statement.
Take 12 twelve stones from where the ark is.
Reminder of where God has brought you from, not where God has you.
Set them up where you lay your head tonight.
Joshua 4:6-7

Stated Purpose of the Memorial

When your children ask, “What does this mean to you.
Assumes a continues realtionship
God sized blessings require a responce.
Kind of calls you out, “What will you tell your kids when they ask about the miracles that God has done in your life?”
You can tell future generations of God greatness.
Reminders are important because their journey is over.
And neither is ours. (so what can we learn)

Lessons from the Memorial

When God brings you to a significant place in life, where He is going to do something great, it may not look like you expected it would.
Sometimes the most meaningful reminders come out of the midst of great trials.
Sometime the most meaningful reminders require the most patience.
God made a promise to deliver them from Egypt to the Promised Land
Though the journey was long and treacherous, God never forgot His promise.
God has promised to deliver us from the bondage of this world.
He has already delivered us from the bondage of sin
(Jesus)
He is with us during our time in the wilderness.
He will bring us into the Promised Land.
(Heaven)
When His time is right.
