A Name

Something I wrote a few years ago.
Ebenezer Scrooge.
The musical is wonderful.
I am so amused that the one I am watching on television is the same CYT did.
I like life, and life likes me! =]
Throughout watching this, Scrooge's name caught my curiosity.
Ebenezer.
I remember VC's worship leader talking about Ebenezer from the song
Come Thou Fount.
. . . Here Thy praises I’ll begin;

Here I raise my Ebenezer; . . .
I looked it up in the dictionary.
Ebenezer means:
male proper name, sometimes also the name of a Protestant chapel or
meeting house, from name of a stone raised by Samuel to commemorate a
victory over the Philistines at Mizpeh (I Sam. vii.12), from Heb. ebhen ezar "stone of help," from ebhen "stone" + ezer "help."
So in the song it is like saying,
I will raise up my church,
or like those people who help you.

Also I was reminded to have a venti sized Jesus and not a sample size.
God has amazing plans. We just need to follow Him.
Trust in Him. He knows what is best and he knows what He is doing.
Work hard. Don't give up on your dreams. Use what God has given you for His glory. You will never regret that.

The result of your efforts
will result in His glory.

He loves you so so so so very very very much.

[So be it.]
