“Hitherto hath the Lord helped us” (1 Samuel 7:12).
This verse was spoken by the prophet Samuel, more than 3,000 years ago. He was reminding the children of Israel how the Lord had looked after them in the past, and would continue to look after them. It is the same for us today; He has looked after us in the past, and will continue to lead and guide us all the way home.
I am going to tell you all something personal now. I thought of this verse today because it is our wedding anniversary. As I write this in 2022, it is 52 years since we were married. We can truly say, in the same words Samuel used, “Hitherto (up until now) hath the Lord helped us.” We can also trust Him for whatever amount of time is left to us in this world.
Most of you who read this calendar are probably not even married yet, although some of our readers may be a bit older, and already have had some wedding anniversaries. But wherever we are in our lives in this world, we can look back and be thankful to the Lord for His help. We can count on that same help for as long as He leaves us here in this world.
