Yesterday at Time in we learnt in 1 Samuel 7 that the Israelites come to God after 20 years of idolatry and disobedience. Samuel their judge whine God speaks through called them to a public space to confess their sins to God
Paraphrasing Samuel said “If you return to the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods from among you, and prepare your hearts for the Lord, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you”
He prayed for them and they confessed their sins to the Lord. Then the philistines tried to attack them and God delivered them. They made a stone called the Ebenezer stone meaning the Lord has helped us
What’s my point?
Before you go to bed I want you to think about today and the days prior. What were the things that you struggled with and where annoying or brought fear and anxiety? Have they come before?
We all need to recognize when the Lord has helped us we all need ”Ebenezer stones” they are symbols and reminders of deliverance and mercy and faithfulness of God. We get to look at them and remember the Lord and what he has done
That way all the worry and anxiety and thoughts get held back to God and we know that if he did it before he will do it again.
