Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the LORD has helped us.” (1 Samuel 7:12)
How often have you revisited your old code? Do you see the need for changes in technique, style, and expression in that old code? We should always feel that old code could be improved. If our old code cannot be improved then we have become stagnant and we have not improved either.
What about our relationship with God? Can we see growth in our characters? Are we becoming more like Christ? When we inspect our hearts, do we see improvement or do we see stagnation? More often than not we are resting on a previous encounter with God, comfortable with his providence during that time, but unwilling to move forward.
Do we accept complacency in ourselves when it comes to writing code? Of course not! We should also not accept complacency in our relationship with God.
