What practical steps can we take to remember God's faithfulness as seen here? A Snapshot of Faithfulness in Joshua 13:20 “Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth—” Each place name marks territory God promised and delivered, turning geography into testimony. Why Physical Places Matter • Tangible reminders keep abstract truths alive. • Every border town echoes Genesis 12:7—promise fulfilled. • Land that once belonged to kings now belongs to God’s people (Joshua 12:1-6). Practical Steps to Remember God’s Faithfulness 1. Keep a “Landmarks” Journal • Record answered prayers, big and small. • Deuteronomy 4:9—“Only be on guard and diligently watch yourselves…” • Reading past entries turns memory into worship. 2. Build Visible Memorials • A stone on a shelf, a photo on the wall, a verse on the fridge. • Joshua 4:7—“These stones shall be a memorial…” • Let every glance invite gratitude. 3. Speak His Deeds Out Loud • Share weekly around the table. • Psalm 105:1—“Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name…” • Words reinforce remembrance for you and hearers. 4. Teach the Next Generation • Retell family stories of God’s intervention. • Deuteronomy 6:7—“Impress them on your children…” • Legacy faith grows when kids know the history. 5. Revisit Significant Places • Walk the hospital hallway where healing came; drive past the first apartment God provided. • Genesis 28:18—Jacob set up a stone at Bethel; revisit, reflect, rejoice. 6. Celebrate Dates of Deliverance • Mark calendars with spiritual birthdays, provision days, recovery anniversaries. • 1 Samuel 7:12—“Thus far the LORD has helped us.” • Annual reminders turn dates into doxology. 7. Sing the Truth Regularly • Play worship songs that recount His acts. • Lamentations 3:23—“Great is Your faithfulness!” • Melody locks memory in the heart. 8. Meditate on Scripture Promises • Choose one promise each week to memorize. • Psalm 77:11—“I will remember the works of the LORD…” • Repetition rewires the mind toward trust. Supporting Scriptures at a Glance • Psalm 103:2—“Forget not all His benefits.” • 2 Peter 1:13—“I consider it right… to remind you.” • Hebrews 10:23—“He who promised is faithful.” Living the Lesson Today Treat every personal “Beth-peor” as holy ground. Chronicle it, celebrate it, and communicate it. As you stack journals, stones, songs, and stories, you build a life-long altar that silently declares: He is faithful, still and always. |
