Here I Raise Mine Ebenezer

Samuel took a large stone and placed it between the towns of Mizpah and Jeshanah. He named it Ebenezer—"the stone of help"—for he said, "Up to this point the Lord has helped us!" —1 Samuel 7:12, NLT

Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
—Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

We sang this song at Soma www.somacommunities.org on Monday and it reminded me of why I started this blog in the first place. I wanted to remember the things that God has done and is doing in our lives. It's amazing to look back over some of the things that have happened and what the outcome is. There are truths that I now believe, but I still struggle to put to practice. But ... throughout all of my wanderings and doubts and our joys and struggles, God has been faithful, He has been our help. Jesus rescue me from danger!
