Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Joshua 4:1–24
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
God instructed Israel to set up memorial stones as a permanent reminder of His power and faithfulness. We often forget past victories when new challenges arise. What “memorial stones” can you point to in your life—moments where God provided, healed, or led you through?
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: “Lord, remind me daily of Your past faithfulness. Let my memories of Your goodness strengthen me for today’s battles.”
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Write down three specific times God has shown His faithfulness in your life.
- Start (or add to) a gratitude journal this week to record God’s goodness.
