The Word For You Today
Sunday February 1
“These stones shall be for a memorial to…Israel forever.” Jos 4:7 NKJV
How to conquer your Jericho (1)
Jericho was the strongest city in the Promised Land and the first Joshua’s army had to conquer. You could say it represents the biggest challenge you’re facing right now. Because the towering walls of Jericho looked impregnable, it would have been intimidating to any would-be invader. So God told His people to remember and record what He’d done for them in the past. In essence He told them, “Before you look forward to Jericho, look backward to Jordan and what God accomplished for you there.” He said, “Take…twelve men…one man from every tribe, and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones…out of the midst of the Jordan…And those twelve stones…Joshua set up in Gilgal [as a memorial to the parting of its waters]’” (Jos 4:2-3, 20 NKJV). One of your best weapons against Satan’s attacks is a good memory. Don’t forget a single one of God’s blessings! The psalmist says: “He forgives your sins—every one. He heals your diseases—every one. He redeems you from hell—saves your life! God makes everything come out right” (Ps 103:3-6 MSG). Create a trophy room in your heart. Each time you experience a victory, place a memory on the shelf. Before you face a challenge, take a quick tour of God’s accomplishments on your behalf. Look at all the paychecks He has provided, the blessings He has given, and the prayers He has answered. “This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness” (Lam 3:21-23 NKJV).
