Scripture:

Joshua 4:5-7

5 and Joshua said to them: “Cross over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, 6 that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ 7 Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.

"Remember the Victories"

Our testimony is so important.   It may, in fact, be the only encounter someone you know has with the Lord.   On that day, the children of Israel were commanded to take up stones from the place of their miracle, the place where God met them, where He took them into the promised land.   You and I have days of victory, places we can clearly highlight in our minds,  and our testimonies matter.   For two reasons, one, they remind our souls that God is not distant, but active in our lives, taking us from victory to victory, and they remind others of the realness of God.

We should remember the places of our victory, we should share them with all who will listen so that when they hear them, they too may experience the victories we have seen, and in turn glorify God and turn to Him.   In Revelations, it says we are saved by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.   Never underestimate the power of your testimony to work in the lives of others.

Lord, I pray that we would tell of your ways, your victories in our lives, that we would never be silent, that we would shout them from the rooftops, in the valleys, in the workplace, in our homes, that all who know us would know of your wondrous ways in Jesus' name, Amen!
