Joshua 4:1-7

Joshua 4

 1 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua, 2 “Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, 3 and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”

 4 So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, 5 and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6 to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 7 tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.”

    Today I pray for the children who are growing up in Christian families, particularly those of Christian leaders and missionaries. May they hear the stories and know why their parents have dedicated themselves to lives of faith. May they have all of their genuine needs met and become heirs to the faith. Protect them, Lord, from physical, emotional, or spiritual harm, and from among them raise up new generations of servants for you.
