"For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God." ~Joshua 4:23-24, NIV
In the Old Testament, people built monuments to remember great deeds. We read about it all the time - Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, and on and on. In great trials, God always came through, and the wise Israelites wanted to remember that.
Even now, we have monuments and memorials - statues that commemorate an event. But how often do we build them to remember what God has done for us?
And if we don't remember what God has done for us, how will we trust Him to do things in the present? We have the Bible to remember what He's done in the greater past, but who will remember the lesser past?
God fulfills His promises all the time, and if you can't remember, maybe you need to start building monuments as they occur. Because if you can look back and see what God has done, won't you believe He can do all things? And if He can do all things, what the devil are you worried about?
