Israel's Memorial

God tells Joshua to build a stone memorial at the Jordan River so Israel will never forget His faithfulness.

What stories will your life tell when you’re gone? After Israel crossed the Jordan, God told Joshua to build a memorial—twelve stones pulled from the riverbed. These weren’t just souvenirs; they were meant to teach future generations about a God who makes a way through the impossible. We live in a world quick to forget what God has done. But memorials—whether stones, stories, or changed lives—remind us and others of His power and love. When we take time to remember, we find strength to trust Him again. What markers of God’s faithfulness are in your life? Share them. Let your story be a stone someone else can stand on. Your testimony might just be the reminder someone needs to believe that God still parts rivers.
