Legacy

How can I make lasting memories of God’s work in my life?

God’s Response

Moses gave them this command from the LORD: “Take two quarts of manna and keep it forever as a treasured memorial of the LORD’s provision. By doing this, later generations will be able to see the bread that the LORD provided in the wilderness when he brought you out of Egypt.” Exodus 16:32

We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future, your children will ask, “What do these stones mean to you?” Then you can tell them. Joshua 4:6-7

The Bible is the record of God’s work in history. Reading it reminds us and our children of who God is and what he has done. As the Israelites set up stones to remind them of God’s miraculous parting of the Jordan River, we can find creative ways to remind ourselves and our families of God’s special work in our lives and in the lives of those who have gone before us. We can celebrate special anniversaries, write spiritual journals, sing worship songs, or tell stories of memory-laden objects to remind us of God’s blessing in our lives. What are you doing today to show God’s faithfulness to future generations?

God’s Promise

God said, “I am giving you a sign as evidence of my eternal covenant with you and all living creatures. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my permanent promise to you and to all the earth.” Genesis 9:12-13
