Welcome to wherever you are

Driving home yesterday, I listened to my Bon Jovi CD. There is a song called, “Welcome to wherever you are” on the disc.

This is a part of the lyrics:

"Welcome to wherever you are
This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you gotta believe
That right here right now,
you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome, to wherever you are"

It has a catchy tune. Nice little song, but there has to be more than just that. I did not get here on my own.

God has brought me this far. Ebenhaezer. God brought us this far and He will see us through.

In the Bible we read about a stone which Samuel used as beacon between Mispa and Sen, in remembrance of the defeat they had over the Philistines.

He called it Ebenhaezer (which can be translated as "the Lord has helped us this far" or “the Lord has helped us up to here”) (1 Samuel 7:12).

It will be hard to find a stone to erect in Johannesburg and probably harder to keep it there. Today I want to post this as a rememberance that God is good and helped me this far. So… welcome to wherever you are and remember that God helped you this far.
