Josh
5:9
And the Lord
said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off
you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
The
word ‘Gilgal’ means rolling. The Lord
had taken His people out of slavery, through the wilderness and now welcomes
them to the land of promise. He gives
this place a name that will always remind His people of what He has done in
their lives. Isn’t that interesting? The Lord names a place as a reminder. Do you have certain places that serve as
reminders to you? Have you seen the Lord
roll away things out of your life and set you in a new direction? Is it a new job? Could you have begun a new relationship? Is there a new healthy habit the Lord has set
up in you? Do you find yourself blushing
at things you used to think were acceptable?
Perhaps you find yourself having disciplines and commitments that are in
great contrast to the ‘Egypt’ you used to live in. Rejoice in your ‘Gilgals’. He has rolled away your reproach and has
promised lands for you!
