Spiritual Markers
There are seasons in our lives that seem to demand more time, attention, and energy than others. When those seasons end, it’s important to take a deep breath and breathe in all of God’s goodness. Upon the completion of a major project, it’s essential that we take time to celebrate and to rest. In scripture, when someone saw God working in a significant way they would often build an altar and call God by a name that described their experience with Him. We too can lay down spiritual markers that remind us of significant events, truths, seasons, and decisions where we see God playing a central role. We can use items, events, scents, pictures, and symbols as spiritual markers to remind us of God’s activity in our lives. Spiritual markers are reminders of God’s activity that have spiritual significance.
