Proverbs 22:28 “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." Proverbs 23:10 “Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:" THEY SET THE STANDARD BY GOD's COMMAND WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO REMOVE IT. TRUTH WILL STAND JUST AS A ROCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER.
Here's a concept...What if the stones represent sin. The Jordan will cover the stones (sin). Crossing the Jordan also represents a new beginning. What are your thoughts???

Why does the NIV say that "joshua set up 12 stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan..."?
This is different from virtually all other translations which say he "set up 12 stones in the middle of the Jordan".
No Julia,this does not sound crazy,it sounds like a woman who trust in her Lord and Savior. Many people don't have time for the Lord Jesus and when bad times arrive they do not know how to call on Him. Trust in the Lord with all thy might and lean not unto your own understanding...that is surly what you did.
Joshua 4: Is so dear to me! This is my deliverance scripture. (Briefly Speaking) GOD led me to this scripture when I was in the lowest point in my life. A decision to leave a place where I feared for my life and my sons. Where I found out that my husband at the time and his daughter had forged my name on a life ins. policy. That decision was made on the "10th DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH" And today I carry my 12 stones, I know it sound crazy; I dont worship the stones, they are in rememberence of my GOD delivering me. To GOD Be the Glory!!!
