Thus Far The Lord Has Helped Us

 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us” - 1 Samuel 7:12.

               The Lord is our helper. The Lord is my helper. I will not fear - Hebrews 13:6. He is our Ebenezer who had helped us so far from our birth till now. By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You - Psalm 71:6. O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works Psalm 71:17.

                It is important to look back how far God had graciously helped us and brought us. He is a very present help for us in all situations. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1. He is always with us to help us and strengthen us. Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10.

              God who had protected and brought us so far is faithful to be with us till our old age. Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, Who have been upheld by Me from birth, Who have been carried from the womb: Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you - Isaiah 46:3-4. Let us thank God, our Ebenezer who had helped us thus far.        

                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for helping us and guiding us faithfully thus far. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
