Joshua 4:21-24 The Hand of the Lord

 21He said to the sons of Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 22then you shall let your children know, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.’ 23For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you crossed over, just as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed; 24so that all the peoples of the earth may know [without any doubt] and acknowledge that the hand of the LORD is mighty and extraordinarily powerful, so that you will fear the LORD your God [and obey and worship Him with profound awe and reverence] forever.”

“There was obviously a purpose in the memorial stones for the people of Israel themselves. It is so easy for us to forget the great miracles God has performed on our behalf.” (Guzik)

The Hand of the Lord

We remember the great works of the Lord as a point of faith.

John 20:29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God] are they who did not see [Me] and yet believed [in Me].”

“There was also a purpose for the world, so they would know that there is a God in heaven who can work miracles, a God they should seek with all their heart.” (Guzik)

It’s the hand of the Lord that provides mercy and salvation.

It’s the hand of the Lord that restrains the evil one.

“the hand of the LORD is mighty and extraordinarily powerful, so that you will fear the LORD your God”

Whose hand will your soul be in when you die, the Lord Jesus or Satan’s?

“ O Lord, you have touch me with your mighty hand and I fall to my knees and am humbled at your feet. I am unworthy yet you your love is poured out on me and I am rendered speechless”
