TOPIC: LESSONS FROM HANNAH'S LIFE; Run To God (3)
One Year Bible Reading:
Deuteronomy 29 - 30, Luke 6: 1 - 16.
MEMORY VERSE:
Heb. 13:8
"8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
BIBLE READING:
1 Sam. 1:9-10
"9 So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the LORD. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish."
Thinking Point:
When things seem odd the best place to turn to is God not men.
Hannah knew Elkanah loved her. She did also. She knew he could do anything for her. He has proved it again and again. But she realises that this man also has limitations. There are things he can't do. In our days, in-laws would have sent her packing, tagged her names. Mother in-law would let her know she was the problem, not the man, which was right.
She realises the limitation of her husband and runs to the real one who has no limitations, The God of Israel. Just like the widow of the servant of prophet Elisha ran to the Prophet which symbolizes God. She would have sought solace in a friend, parent or involved in an extramarital affair but she ran to God and she was never disappointed.
When all things seem bad, who do you run to? When your trust in men fails, who do you turn to? The scripture said,
"10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish."
Stop running to friends who will advise you wrongly, seek for God's servant. Cry to God in your closet.
Jere. 33:3, says,
"3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’'
Run to God for help not to men, we all have limitations likewise you, you can't meet up with everyone's help, so run to God directly. Meet Him and speak to Him. He is your father, our father who listens to us.
Good morning, and God bless you.
