1Sa 7:12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”
This was the culmination of the battle with the Philistines. They attacked the Israelites when they had asembled before the Lord at Mizpah. They attacked when Samuel was making a sacrifice. He cried out to the Lord on Israel’s behalf and the Lord answered him.
The Lord thundered with a loud thunder against the Philistines that they were defeated before the Israelites. Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and named it Ebenezer, saying , thus far has the lord helped us.
Christian friends, this far the LORD has helped us. He has seen us through sicknesses, attacks, bereavements, in trials, toils, perplexities and even through our many fears and worries. That’s not all, He will help us go through the remaining part of the journey.
