As a young businessman, I decided to buy houses and rehab them. The job was more than I could handle by myself, so, I convinced four friends join me in a partnership.
One partner wisely recommended, “Rick, we need clarity and written commitments before we start.” This written agreement saved us many headaches.
Joshua knew the Israelites would eventually forget their promises to God. So, he wrote those covenants on a stone.
Joshua 24:27 says, “This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.”
There are times when we need to document the commitments we make to God, in case we begin to stray.
