Find the Stones from the Journey
Friends, we have to do the same thing. We may have no idea how God will accomplish something in our lives. We may not know how we will pay the bills, get a new job, or repair the new roof after the storm. All we know is that He has promised to provide – and He has something great on the other side. We know this because as we look back, we can see that God has delivered us to the other side of our personal Jordan River again and again.
Remember when He provided those extra hours to cover the vacation we were hoping to take? Remember when God allowed us to find the perfect job at a time when we were still nursing the wound of being terminated? Remember when we got a surprise tax return for the amount needed to replace the car after it needed a massive repair?
As a couple, we need to memorialize and celebrate His faithfulness! We need to clasp hands with our spouse, run back into the Jordan, and grab those proverbial stones to pile up. Maybe that means capturing God’s faithfulness in a journal. Putting His answers on slips of paper in a mason jar. Or actually writing a word or two on smooth rocks that we place in our garden beds. But as we face the uncertainty of inflation, job insecurity, or Covid pandemic impacts we can look at that those reminders and believe God rather than our fear. Because He has delivered and provided before, and we can trust that He will do it again.
