GEOFF'S DEVOTIONAL MUSINGS

30/11/24.   The River Jordan.

A father led his son down to the river.

Remembering the journey he took long ago.

On one special day, they journeyed to Jordan.

And stopped by an old pile of stones by the road.

.

These stones son, are special. These stones have a purpose.

They speak as a witness of a time long gone by.

 When God led his people through the raging river Jordan.

On dry land made possible. By God’s sovereign power.

.

The Ark of the Covenant was carried into the river.

But at the first step, a miracle took place.

God held back the waters which piled up beside them.

And a million people walked through on dry land.

.

And as the last person walked up on the bank.

So 12 special men were chosen to return.

Back to the middle. And hoist up a large stone.

Bring them back to the bank and pile them there.

.

These stones are a witness of God’s holy power.

How he held back the water to let the people pass.

So whenever you see this powerful symbol.

Stop. And remember, you serve the same God.

.

With memories of boyhood, he now led his son.

To show him the stones and tell him the tale.

Our God so powerful. He stopped the raging waters.

The whole tribe of Israel walked through on dry land.
