Daily Word 🇬🇭

Ebenezer, the Lord has brought us thus far!!!
1 Samuel 7:12
Then Moses laid a stone between …thus far the Lord has helped us.

The word “Ebenezer” means, stone of help. Having the gift of life each day is a blessing. It is also an indication that God is keeping watch over you 24/7.

In the verse above, Moses laid a stone as a memorial of the great help God had given the Israelites.

Scripture says in Psalm 46:1 that

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of need.

Meaning, God has the ability to help us through any trouble or challenge. Cultivate the habit of calling on the Lord first in the time of trouble and He will help you.

Philippians 1:21
For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain

This verse from the new testament expresses the Apostle Paul’s principle for life. He will stand for Jesus in life and in death.

Thank God for your Ebenezer ( how far He has brought you) and pray for grace and strength to remain faithful to Him
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Thank God constantly for the blessings He bestows on you

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

In heavenly love abiding
No change my heart shall fear
And safe is such confiding
For nothing changes here
The storm may roar without me
My heart may low be laid
But God is round about me
And can I be dismayed?

Green pastures are before me
Which yet I have not seen
Bright skies will soon be o’er
Where the dark clouds have been
My hope I cannot measure
My path to life is free
My Saviour holds my treasure
And nothing can l lack
Amen
