Memorials

“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.””

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

9 years ago today wasn’t my best day. In fact, it was one of the worst days of my life. I found myself in a jail cell. My wife and two kids were at home. I’d made a mistake too large to overlook. Then I did the crazy thing. I reported myself. Often I’ve asked myself if I should have remained quiet. Should I have allowed the system to sort it out?

But, of many things, God calls us to live with integrity. So I chose to do that.

It hasn’t been easy…coming back from that. It has been a massive trial to my character to press on, but on days like today, I’m reminded of what God can do. Even when I maybe deserve to be “put to death” (figuratively/eternally) God has delivered me from so much more. As I reflect on the day, I’m reminded of the miracles God has done in my life. As I continue to die to myself, I continue to find the greater meaning and mysteries of this life.

Friend, what challenges are you going through? Have hope today in Jesus. Your savior. Your deliverer.

Be strong and courageous!! 🛡️🛡️
