God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Selections from First Samuel 7, New KJV:4 “So the children of Israel put away [the false idols] and served the LORD only....
6 So they gathered together.... And they fasted that day, and said there, 'We have sinned against the LORD....
7 Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together... [they] went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines...
8 So the children of Israel said to Samuel 'Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.'
9 And Samuel [offered God a sacrifice]. Then Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him....
10 Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel....
12 Then Samuel took a stone a set it up … and called its name
EBENEZER, saying 'Thus far the LORD has helped us.' ”
-- God's pattern for national victory.
