"Remembering What God Has Done"

I wanted to share a devotional from Jentezen Franklin  that I read this morning. It is pretty cool that just last night at church we were talking about Remembering what God has done in our lives. This devotional was on the same thing.
Spiritual Landmark
Thus far hath the Lord helped us.
           1 Samuel 7:12
It's a good idea to establish some spiritual landmarks, reminding us of the times God intervened on our behalf. Without them we quickly forget, lose our bearings, or claim credit for things we'd nothing to do with.
When God miraculously opened the Jordan River for the Israelite's to pass over, He knew something they didn't---that soon they'd come up against Jericho, their biggest battle. That's when they'd need reminders and a reference point. So He told them to collect 12 stones from the Jordan and build a memorial. This would act as a reminder of His past faithfulness. God was saying, "When you can't cope with the future, check with the past. My goodness will stand inventory." Samuel did the same after Israel defeated the Philistines. He too a stone and named it Ebenezer saying, "Thus far hath the Lord helped us" (1 Samuel 7:12).
Think of some of the spiritual landmarks in your life "thus far." Like the day you met Jesus; or specific instances when He guided you; or doors opened that you thought we permanently shut; or scrapes He brought you through. Go ahead, establish some spiritual landmarks by keeping a record of these events! They're important, because whenever you're struggling, they'll remind you of how God has cared for you. They'll help you to see His past goodness, even when you weren't aware of it. They'll give you a sense of gratitude for yesterday's blessings, and the confidence to face whatever tomorrow brings!
