Joshua 4 - Memorial Stones.
John Maxwell says "a legacy for the next generation". He also states "Good leaders provide "handles" like these to enable their people to grab onto the vision".
WHAT LEGACY ARE YOU & I LEAVING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION?
As I think of this I recall a song by Mortification called "Jehovah Nissi", which mentions a memorial book (or scroll)....see Exodus 17:14
Luke 22:19 - Jesus said to have communion in remembrance of Him.
Is this why we need memorials? hmmm....
Ecclesiastes 1:11 (MSG) - "Nobody remembers what happened yesterday, and the things that will happen tomorrow? Nobody'll remember them either. Don't count on being remembered."
Psalm 8: Maxwell - Identity. A balanced perspective of God's role & the leader's role.
- David sees his own weakness & humanity (v.3,4) He realises that man accounts for a small part of the univers & that keeps him humble
- David sees his God given position & privileges (v.5-8) God put humans in charge of the whole world & gave them authority over creation (see Genesis 1:28)
- David gives glory to God (v.1,9)
Proverbs 2:16-22 Wisdom
v.18 - Being with an immoral woman leads to death. Be wise. One night of pleasure ain't worth a lifetime of pain.
v.21 - The upright dwell in the land. Blessing, permanence, occupation, fruit that remains, blessed to be a blessing to others.
