08-23-12…1 Samuel 1

by Bruce on August 23, 2012

1 Chapter a Day’s take:

In verses 10 & 11 we discover that Hannah is crushed in soul. She cried and cried — inconsolably. The reason she was so distraught is that she wanted a child. Her rival wife Peninnah (who had children) taunted her cruelly, rubbing it in and never letting her forget that God had not given her children.

So she entered the sanctuary and prayed to God. She also made a vow to him that if God would give her a son, she would give him completely, unreservedly to God.

God answered her prayer and she followed through on her vow.

Have you ever prayed to God when your soul felt crushed? What did you pray? How did God answer?

What is your take?
