Have you met them? Those wonderful, creative people who love to make memory books for families and individuals to treasure? They spend hours cutting, pasting, stamping things into scrapbooks, and adding some pictures and short sayings. These books end up looking like works of art! It takes time and patience, that’s for sure. I’ve often wondered what a book would look like if you did one for, let’s say, Peter, Samuel, or Moses.
Moses would be hard. One page is a picture of him working steadily with the gratefully freed Isrealites, leading them on to the Promised Land. Every other page would be Moses on his knees on a mountain pleading for the Lord not to kill these ungrateful people because of their unbelief and complaining! Maybe you would only need two pages!
Joshua 4 tells of a memory made after God’s people crossed over the Jordan River. Joshua placed twelve stones from the Jordan River in plain sight for all to see and said, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come saying, ‘What are these stones?’ then you shall let your children know…” Joshua wanted this memory of God’s faithfulness kept alive for generations to come. Now there’s a memory that will stick around for a while!
I’m privileged to direct a small ministry that has a big impact around the world. It’s called CBH Ministries. It used to be called Children’s Bible Hour because our program was an hour long radio broadcast. Our name might be shortened now but the way God has increased the ministry’s borders is not. We receive more than a million visits to our website every month! Mercy! That’s a lot of work and a lot of emails to answer!
The memory book of CBH Ministries will consistently say that our desire has been to place God’s Word in the hearts of boys and girls all over this world. The current CBH may not be your momma’s Children’s Bible Hour with rallies and concerts, but the purpose is the same with different media.
