Blessing For TodaySample

Praise Jesus 

The Israelites lost everything that belonged to them. They lost lands, cities, their possessions, their glory and their confidence. It was at this time of distress that the Israelites started acknowledging all the good work that the Lord had done for them in the yesterpast. Then Prophet Samuel brought a stone and set it up between the two cities of Mizpah and Shen and named it ‘Ebenezer”. The meaning of this name is “thus far the Lord has helped us.” That was it. Through that one act of placing the stone and magnifying the Lord God Almighty, the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. Then the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory from the hand of the Philistines. 

In the same way, God shall stretch forth His hand against your enemies. No enemy can come up against you. Hereafter, your adversaries will not overpower you. Whatever be your loss or the difficulties you may face, all that you ought to do is to take a firm decision and declare, “God has helped me thus far and He will help me further.” Truly, the days ahead of you will be prosperous. 

Prayer

“Loving God, I thank You for the wonderful word You spoke to me today. Father, truly You are my Ebenezer, thus far You have led me and I believe that You will lead me for evermore. I commit myself into Your hands. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.” 

‘Ebenezer – The Lord has led you thus far’
