Ebenezer!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~


(John MacDuff, "Ripples in the Twilight" 1885)

"Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us." 1 Samuel 7:12

What a retrospect will that be at the end of life's journey! The rough paths, the jagged precipices, the valleys of humiliation--all will be seen to have been bathed in the luminous light of God's love. There will be nothing more but to erect earth's farewell monument, and to carve upon it, "Ebenezer!"

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
