Ebenizer means, "thus far the Lord has helped us." When people read this here and claim it in their lives, they often think only of the victories. However, God had helped Israel not just by giving them victories but also by sending them troubles and even defeat. God's help isn't just what we would call good. God's help can also come in correction and in allowing judgment. This isn't the side of God's help that is fun, but like with our children, sometimes the best gift we can give them is what they don't want.
