We know God helps us through His promises in Scripture and by recalling the personal victories He has granted us in our lives.
The affirmation 'Hitherto hath the Lord helped us' in 1 Samuel 7:12 reflects a deep theological truth regarding God's continuous support. God’s assistance is constant and unwavering, as affirmed by numerous Bible passages that recount His faithfulness and mercy. Throughout Scripture, believers are encouraged to reflect on God's past interventions as evidence of His ongoing help in our lives. For instance, the psalmist expresses confidence in God's help in Psalm 121. By recounting personal testimonies and sharing instances of His intervention, believers can witness the reality of God’s help in their present circumstances. This practice is essential for nurturing faith and cultivating a life characterized by reliance on God’s strength.
