DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 15-16; Job 18-19; Matt. 8:28 to 9:17
Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto (Thus far) hath the Lord helped us. 1 Samuel 7:12
This can be translated, “Up to this point has the Lord helped us.” He has helped us through all of the deep valleys and raging rivers of life. He has helped us through all kinds of storms and dangers seen and unseen. His gracious hand has been faithfully with us. There are milestones in each of our lives at which we can set up our “stones” and say, “Ebenezer”. Does this not give us the assurance that for every tomorrow and for every mile yet to come, He is still faithful and He is our Ebenezer! —Jim Comte
All my tomorrows, all my past—Jesus is Lord of all.
I’ve quit my struggles, contentment at last! Jesus is Lord of all.—William J. and Gloria Gaither
