Hannah's thanksgiving
"The Lord has filled my heart with joy; I can feel very strong in the Lord. I can laugh at my enemies; I am glad because you have helped me!
"There is no one holy like the Lord. There is no God but you; there is no Rock like our God." 1 Samuel: 1-2
This after Hannah surrendered her first born son to the Lord's keeping. This after a long ardous journey of barrenness rewarded by the hand of God. This now is Hannah without any children again. Only after these words of praise did Eli tell her she would have more children.. Only after did God bless her with three more sons and two daughters.
Hannah gave her only son not asking or expecting God to bless her again. Samuel was the blessing she had prayed for. Her life had become complete with Samuel, not her other five children. Samuel... the one she surrendered to God.
Wow... to be a woman of that much faith and passion for God

This is powerful, Rube, especially for moms of teenagers! I find I have to daily surrender my son to the loving care, perfect will, and eteranl purposes of God - or go crazy. Thanks for this encouraging reminder of God's faithfulness!
