“Faithful is He Who is
calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy and He will also do it
[fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you].” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (Amplified Bible)
Father, we thank you that You are faithful and utterly
trustworthy. Thank you that You will
fulfill Your call for Deeper Still and that You keep Deeper Still Team Members
in Your loving care and protection. We remember and thank You for Your faithfulness.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
1 Samuel 7: 12-14
12 Then Samuel took a stone
and set it up between Mizpah and Shen[a] and
called its name Ebenezer;[b] for he said, “Till now
the Lord has helped
us.” 13 So the Philistines were subdued and did not again
enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of
Samuel. 14 The cities that the Philistines had taken from
Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their
territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel
and the Amorites.
God is always faithful.
Samuel set a stone up as a reminder to the Israelites of the Lord’s
faithfulness. He called the stone,
“Ebenezer”, which means, “the rock of help” and then declared, “Till now the
Lord has helped us.”
The Lord subdued Israel’s enemies and delivered His
people. We can be assured that the Lord
will subdue the enemy and deliver His sons and daughters. He has been faithful in the past and He will
continue to be faithful in the future. He
will do what He has said He will do. He
will fulfill the call and do it, we just need to trust.
As new chapters of Deeper Still are being started, let us
remember God’s faithfulness in the past and expect His continued help moving forward. He who has called us, is also faithful to do
it.
Below is another Ebenezer Stone from the Illinois Deeper
Still Chapter, a barn board beautifully displaying God’s faithfulness.
Please pray for the Illinois retreat this weekend! It is April 4-6th. Thank you so much for your prayers!!!
