My Ebenezer: Perfect Humility

Perfect Humility

"These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
Proverbs 6:16-19

A friend once told me, that when he first saw me, he thought I was a 'proud-looking' guy. =? I've prayed to God to help me with that ever since. I hope I am no longer that same guy.

Thank you Lord for being with me through another week...

Eben-ezer

"And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth–car.

Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben–ezer, saying, "Up to this point the LORD has been our help".

1 Samuel 7:10-12

So teach us to number our days

that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12

**********

"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

II Corinthians 6:17,18
