Evening — July 1 — 1 Samuel 7:12

Afterward, 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 7:12The stone Ebenezer is a tangible marker of divine help already given, not a promise of future ease. Samuel points not to Israel's strength but to the LORD who has carried them thus far—a testimony of grace that anchors weary hearts in the faithfulness of God who never abandons His own.
