Ebenezer and the Enemies

"Samuel cried…the LORD heard… the Philistines drew near… but the LORD thundered… and they were smitten… Then Samuel took a stone… and called the name of it Ebenezer (אֶבֶן הָעֵזֶר, Stone of Help), saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us" (1 Samuel 7:9-12). "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 14:1).  "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand until I make Thy foes Thy footstool… God hath made that same Jesus… both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:33,36).

There was a stone that Samuel named 

As "Ebenezer" to recall

The help of God that he proclaimed

When God caused all their foes to fall.  

Let us acknowledge now as well,

Our help is in the Lord alone,

Who died to rescue us from hell

And lives now as our Corner Stone. 

Prophetic Scripture gives the  vision:

When Christ ascended to His seat,

His foes would soon be in derision

And made a footstool for His feet. 

O Lord, our "Ebenezer" here

Is raised to also warn the fool

That prophecy is very clear:

Your enemies shall be Your stool.
