Begin Again, Day 6

Make memories. Read Joshua chapter 4.

As we read through the first part of chapter 4 of Joshua, we see that the people had the opportunity to reflect on what had just happened. They had acted in obedience to God. God had done a miracle, and now the people had the opportunity to think about what God had done. Joshua wanted to make sure that the people remembered that event. He had them set up a monument to ensure that the people would always have something to look at and remember how God had moved and worked in their lives.

Many times we don’t take this one final step. We act in obedience to the Lord. God does amazing and incredible things. But, we don’t take the time to reflect on what God has done and set up a way for us to remember the amazing things that God has done. As we look back on our life. What do we need to remember that God has done? What can we set up in our lives as a marker that every time we look at it, we can recognize the goodness and mercy and grace of God? Find one thing in your life today that reminds you of how God has worked in your life and make some type of memorial out of it as a way to remember the goodness and mercy of God.
