God is our stone of help

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us
- 1 Samuel 7:12

The Israelites were discouraged in their battle against the Philistines, but their victory depended on God, who was their stone of help. Samuel’s story is an example of how God cares for His people and remains faithful. In our greatest battles, if we depend on the Lord, He will help us too!

Ebenezer was the name given to the stone Samuel set up at the place of battle as a memorial. It declared that they believed and proclaimed, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” Without God’s help, they would never have made it that far. And the same is true in our lives: without God, we can do nothing. But with Him, we are more than conquerors!

Think about this: the very place that had once been the scene of a great defeat for the Israelites (1 Samuel 4) was transformed into a memorial of grace and victory through the power of God. In the same way, God can do this for you. Trust in Him in moments of need. He can turn lack into provision, suffering into relief, and shine a light in the midst of darkness.

Jesus Christ is our eternal Rock! Hold on to Him and stand firm, for He will sustain you…

Whoever Loves God Can Never Forget This

Gratitude should be the attitude of every Christian. Being thankful when everything is going well is easy, but when we’re anxious, we often forget the reasons we have to thank God. Even when things don’t go our way, we must remember all that the Lord has already done for us and have faith that He can deliver us!

Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Ephesians 5:20

Being grateful is more than just words, it is a generous attitude from someone who recognizes that God is the source of all good things. And even when less favorable things happen to us, they will somehow work out for our good. No matter what happens, we belong to the Lord. We are in His strong hands, and nothing is beyond His control.

God is the Lord of time, the Lord of history, and He rules over the universe with care, goodness, and love. He acts through nature and also supernaturally to fulfill all His purposes. And just as He works in great things, He also works in your life, your family, your work, your dreams, and your plans.

Therefore, let us be thankful for all that He has done and for all that He will do in our lives.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
- 1 Chronicles 16:34

Encourage others to praise God

Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
- Psalm 34:3

Whether you realize it or not, the truth is that you have influence over the people around you. If you are in a bad mood and respond harshly, you start a chain of bad moods. In the same way, if you treat others kindly, they will respond kindly to you, or at least try to.

Is your heart full of gratitude and praise to God? Express it with your words and actions. Encourage others to praise God naturally by talking about the beauty around you, the wonderful people in your life, or some pleasant situation that has happened to you. End your comment by giving glory to God. It’s an easy and simple way to extend God’s kingdom.

Let your words and actions inspire others to seek and draw closer to God. Praise God with your life, show others how wonderful it is to live aware of God’s presence and His immense love for us. Nature itself speaks of God’s love and care!

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
- Psalm 19:1

Encourage the people around you so that, when they see the beauty around them, they will praise and exalt God with all their hearts. They will receive a great blessing.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
- Psalm 34:8
