My awesome, Grandchildren, and Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin; whom I love and pray for every day: A man named Elkanah had two wives, Peninnah and Hannah. Hannah was Elkanah’s first wife; after they had been married for ten years, he also took Peninnah as a wife because Hanna was barren. “And Peninnah provoked Hanna severely, TO MAKE HER MISERABLE, because the LORD had closed her womb.” (1 Sam. 1:6) This is a situation where God needed a righteous prophet (Samuel) to lead His people so, under the RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES and at just the RIGHT TIME, the Lord could put His plan into place. “Then Hanna made a vow, “O LORD of hosts, if You will look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, but will give me a MALE CHILD, then I will GIVE HIM TO THE LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head…Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.” (1 Sam. 1:11, 20)
“Now the LORD came and stood and called, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “SPEAK, FOR YOUR SERVANT HEARS.” Then the LORD said to Samuel: “Behold, I will do something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.” (1 Sam. 3:10-11) Samuel was the last judge of Israel and the first prophet, he anointed the first king, Saul and then one of the most famous kings David. All because Hanna made herself available to God!
JUST IMAGINE WHAT THE LORD COULD DO WITH US IF WE MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE TO HIM!!!
Notice: […We must understand that the bible says:] “SPEAK, FOR YOUR SERVANT HEARS.” !!!] That’s for you: Stephanie, Ethan, Camden, Olivia, Aidan, Landon, Kinsley, Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin…
