Joshua 3:1-4:24
Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you. Let the covenant go before you, because you have not passed this way before.
How often it is true that we haven't passed this way before. It would be very good indeed if the covenant went before us, and stood between us and others. And all our dealings with each other. Much better.
I wonder why Cecil B. De Mille never did this crossing in the movies? It is a big story, and the 12 stones are not a surprise to us now that we have gotten the idea that it is good to make a remembrance and make a plan to tell the story to our children. These are physical remembrances that go along with our tale. They give us something concrete to see.
...so that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord is mighty...
Today let us remember this hand of the Lord, and keep in step behind His covenant.
See you tomorrow,
-maggie
