“Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, and named it Ebenezer; for he said, ‘Thus far the LORD has helped us.’” - 1 Samuel 7:12
God is so good. While doing the last lesson in the I AM Bible study, I was looking over past blog posts. I saw my struggles & prayers in waiting on God’s timing for the next leg of the journey in His will for me, which reminded me of how He has come through thus far & how great & faithful our God truly is!
Combined with worship this morning & evening as well as fellowship during lunch, it’s been a wonderful & impacting day! My faith has grown tonight & I trust that God is growing my passion for Him again as well. Praise God! He has been answering prayers & speaking to me & renewing me this week in so many ways, & today was a great continuation of that!
Past blog posts can serve as “Ebenezer stones” (thank you, Jon, for first telling me what these are!) They surely remind me of the times when God has come through & that He is faithful in EVERY promise He makes!
Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy great help I’ve come… (from the hymn, “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing“)
