Give us this day....thanking God for our teachers

Some leaders are godly men and leaders who want to serve their God and their people. In Joshua 4:1-11, for example, Joshua does as God commands and told the people to set up the 12 stones to ford the river. Why? As a memorial to what God did for His people, and to commemorate what He put in place many, many years prior to even the 10 commandments that lead to those same commandments. It was God directing the pathways of His people by setting the 12 tribes, it was God that sent Joseph into Egypt, it was God that sent Moses to be raised by Egyptians and to lead the Jews out of Egypt, and it was God to direct the movement and paths of the ark of the covenant which held the covenant between God and His people. Such men allowed God in their lives to really carry forth His plan for His people. Godly leaders helped those they teach remember God and what He has done for His people, by following God’s direction to make certain clothing or parts of clothing in remembrance of the sacredness of His people, as in Numbers 15:38-39, and also the leading His people out of Egypt in Exodus 13:11-16.
