I Raise My Ebenezer

We remember the Israelites as they are about to cross the Jordan being instructed to place their Ebeneazers along the shore so they can remember and attest to all that God has done for them. A visual symbol.... a conversation starter if you will... for future generations to ask about and God's goodness to be shared.

Of course in the sharing of His goodness, their struggles also have to be shared.

Do you share yours? Even in the midst of it? Do you place visual Ebeneazers personally or as a family in the midst of a trial but when God's goodness is revealed? Do you journal them down somewhere?

We have a couple of the moments written on paper, and a pile of stones in the backyard we want to bring in. Our youth building at church has a spot where students have laid their Ebeneazers. A great visual reminder to them as they pass of items they are praying for, one's answers, etc.

Do you?

Do you have your Ebeneazers?

How do you share God's goodness in your life with those around you? How do you share Him for His glory to be revealed?

I want to challenge myself to bring the pile of stones inside. To grab our sharpies and go to town having a night of praise and worship as we recall with our children all God has brought us through.

In the same token, I would like to challenge you to do the same.
