What Is My family That You Have Brought Me This Far?

 Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? - 2 Samuel 7:18.

             David who was a shepherd became the king of Israel and so he looked back and acknowledged how God had worked in his life. Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? - 1 Chronicles 17:16. The Sovereign Lord had brought us and our family also this far. What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? - Psalm 8:4. 

              Samuel set up a memorial stone and called it Ebenezer which means 'stone of help' in Hebrew and declared, “Thus far the Lord has helped us" as the Israelites had a great victory over the Philistine army. Then Samuel stood in their midst ”Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” - 1 Samuel 7:12.          

           God who had given us victory and brought us this far will guide us continually. The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail - Isaiah 58:11. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye - Psalm 32:8. Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain - Psalm 127:1.                                                                      

                                                                          

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Sovereign Lord. We thank You for giving us victory and bringing us this far. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
