Out of sorrow comes God’s provision and promise. God heard Hannah’s prayer for a child. In response to God’s provision for a child, Hannah dedicates him to service of the Lord…she recognizes that the gift is not for glory, but God’s. This points to Jesus as the answer to the grieving heart, who comes to satisfy the promise of God through sacrifice.
Through the story of three man, we see that God exalts the humble and He opposes the proud. Samuel, Saul and David must each decide how they will live in relation to God and his people. While David was running for his life, he wrote: “I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold.” – Psalm 18:1-2
Each day, we too, must decide how we will live.
Will we grab hold of what is ours for the taking? Or will we walk humbly and patiently with God himself? The road of humility is the road of obscurity, struggle, and suffering. Yet let us always remember…God exalts the humble and opposes the proud. With God, the life we’re looking for is HUMILITY Is Greater Than Pride.
