Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer (“stone of help”), saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”

1 Samuel 7:12

We thank you Lord for each day’s reminders of your provision for us. At Mia’s Children, our ebenezers are the academic, emotional and spiritual successes that encourage us all the time to keep going. We remember them to remember you. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, make us ever more grateful for what we have. Amen.

…they did not believe in God
or trust in his deliverance.
Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;
he rained down manna for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
He let loose the east wind from the heavens
and by his power made the south wind blow.

Psalm 78:22-26

God, we so often forget your provision. Teach us to trust you for absolutely everything we need. Help us to pray, even when we’d rather stay ungrateful. Amen.
