| My Ebenezer |

This past Sunday, Laura Christy sang "Come thou Fount." The song often causes me to reflect on God's goodness and the blessings of life. I am in awe of his goodness ... his kindness is everlasting.
Here I raise my Ebenezer (1 Samuel 7:12): Thus far, the Lord has helped [me]. We can't always see or understand what God is doing in our lives. As I faced the trials and decision points in my life, the way was almost never crystal clear. I often didn't understand the work that God was trying to do in my life. Yet, I trusted him. In looking back, the presence of God in the guiding of my steps is clear. Even when I made mistakes, he was there to work in the circumstances to bring about what was best for me in bringing me closer to him.
And, you know what's really cool. While the past provides assurance, the future holds the promise. I stand on the promise of my favorite verse:
1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he [who has] begun a good work in [me] will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ: God is good ... all the time. |
