The challenge of Gilgal.

Gilgal = Rolling Joshua 4:9-24 Gilgal is the place that God defines as the place where He rolls away the reproach of Egypt, that is He cuts them, the children of Israel off from their past, from their slavery and desert wandering. Gilgal is also the place of memorial. It is the place where they themselves, other people in their generation and future generations can be reminded that God has intervened in their lives. We all need a Gilgal in our lives, we all need to have that place where we know God has cut us off from our past, from our slavery to sin and our constant wandering in deserts, living from one crisis to the next. We also need a Gilgal where we have set up our memorial, the place where we put down our marker for all to see, the physical demonstration that God has brought us through from our sinful past to an inheritance beyond what we deserve. This is a place that we will have to return to at various points in our lives to remind ourselves of what God has done for us.
