“Please….”
Once again, Moses stands at the foot of Sinai. Also known as Horeb.
This time he’s not alone with the sheep.
But with a multitude. Led out of captivity.
A disobedient, fickle flock.

Remembrance
The children ask, “What do these stones mean to you?”
So they hear stories of remembrance. About the journey to the Jordan.
And the precise moment priests stuck their toes in the river. While carrying the ark of the covenant.
Their elders say the water just stopped. And piled in a heap. During flood season. When the Jordan regularly overflows its banks.
And then the riverbed lay dry before them. Ready for their crossing.

Come and see
“Come and see,” the psalmist says in Psalm 66. I hear the invitation. To see the works of God. Remember His awesome acts.
And in one brief sentence, the writer speaks volumes.
“He turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot.”
Psalm 66:6
Succinctly said. But the people know. These are two indelible markers on their journey with God.
The sea and the river. Deliverance and entering the promised land.
