- "The stones will serve as
a reminder to you.
In days to come, your children will ask you,
"What do these stones mean?"
- Joshua 4:6
Stone Markers
Can you remember times when you've felt
really close to God? When you were sad, did God bring comfort
to you? Maybe you needed to be strong and He gave you strength?
You were sick and He made you well. You were in trouble and He
fixed your problem or maybe you were wrong and God showed you
what was right. All of these times can be used as stone markers
or "spiritual markers." They show how God has been
with you in the past. They can lead you where God wants you in
the future. Remembering what God has done can help you share
the praise worthy deeds of the Lord!
We all have spiritual markers. Praying
and reading God's Word are the mostimportant "stones"
for guiding our path. We can know about God's promises when we
read the Bible. The Bible will also help us understand His answers
to our prayers. He always answers! Sometimes He says, "Yes."
But sometimes, because He knows what is best, He say, "No"
or "Wait awhile." Remembering how God helped us yesterday
will make our faith grow stronger each day. We can share God
with others as we remember and share His activity in our lives.
The Critters are hiking through the Kid
Cave Forest. Cami Cub and Joshua Jackrabbit have gone ahead to
mark the trail for Emmi Squirrel and Liam Leapfrog. They have
carefully placed stones on the path. The stone markers will remind
them where they have come from. They will also show Emmi and
Liam the right way to go.
Just like stone markers can show us the
way to go in the forest, our "spiritual markers" can
guide us in the way God wants us to go. They can also help to
lead others. He has special plans for all of His children. The
times when we know God is with us in a special way will help
guide us in His plan. We can share our spiritual markers with
others and learn from theirs as well! Learn to wath for God working
in your life!
