Raising Ebenezers

"Then Samuel took a stone, placed it between Mizpah and Shen and named it Ebenezer. He said, 'The Lord has helped us thus far'."  - 1 Samuel 7:12 

A great habit to imbibe on this walk is journaling your breakthroughs. Those times God comes through for you in ways you didn't expect. Write them down in a journal.

Our human tendency is to forget the good times and amplify the remembrance of the not-so-good times. We need constant reminders of God's power, mercy, and love in times like this, as assurances that He will come through for us, and to affirm our faith. 

Looking back on previous breakthroughs to strengthen your faith for future ones is a biblical principle (Deuteronomy 7:17-19). And one of the tools we have been provided as Christians for this faith walk. Let's use it well. Shalom.
