1 Samuel 7:10, 12 (NIV)
But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites . . .
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.”
Ebenezer means “stone of help.”
Where’s your Ebenezer?
- No Ebenezer for me, I claim the credit for myself
- I had one life-changing moment; hand me a rock and I’ll mark the spot
- I have many Ebenezers, I can tell you exactly when and where
Don’t know about an Ebenezer,
don’t know about a God-borne aid.
All I know is I can be sure
about the game I know I’ve played.
Maybe God was in the innings
but He didn’t show His face
except that in the place of winnings
I found a lonely kind of grace.
I will have no days of glory;
instead there will be hours of pain.
But this cancer’s not my story
and I lost less than I gained.
My humble thanks to Him above
comes not from vict’ry, but from Love.
You do have days of glory, Andrew–all those moments when you found and shared wisdom in the pain, they are your days of glory.
Funny…the screen just got blurry.
Something in my eyes.
