My Ebenezer: Fast & Far

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

-African proverb.

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

"What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?"

Psalm 8:4

**********

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
