Digging for Ebenezer



"Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, 'Thus far has the LORD helped us.'" (1 Sam. 7:12)

"the... [follower] needs to identify an Ebenezer (1 Sam. 7:12). This marker is a memorial of God’s help. It reminds the starter of God’s call and God’s promise that... in this place is the divine call. The... [follower] must be able, in the midst of doubt and weariness, to look back to that ‘Ebenezer’ moment when God’s direction had been clear and unmistakable.” -- Ed Stetzer

This, my friends, is where I find myself. Somewhat digging through rocks and trying to find that Ebenezer stone.


Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I come
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood.
