Today, we reach the opening of the last judge of Israel in 1 Samuel 1-3. It is the story of a woman (Hannah) who prayed for a son. God was faithful and fulfilled her request. This son was given back to God in service at the temple.
Interesting prayer in ch2. Hannah is praying to God....sounds a little like the sermon on the mount (Matt ch 5)?
How might you react to the news Eli received from the prophet in ch 2v27-35? Might you at least deliver that message to those who need it? Sounds like we have work to do in that the heart of that message STILL applies.
Get ready, the book of Samuel (1&2) really sets up the nation of Israel as we might recognize in our past Sunday school lessons. This is how it happened.......
