27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
28 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.
God heard Hannah’s prayer and remembered her. (1:19) So Samuel was given birth.
When we go through difficulties, if God the Almighty remembers us, our problems can be solved. Therefore, we always need to have a humble attitude of asking God’s mercy.
After the birth of Samuel, Hannah raised him until the boy was weaned and according to what she had vowed, she gave his life to God. The small Samuel was entrusted to Eli and lived a life of worshiping God.
God’s plan to close Hannah’s womb, the education of a holy family and spiritual training and so on, through these, a great leader was born. I hope that in this spiritually dark era which resembles the era of judges, many holy leaders would be raised through each family.
Shalom and God bless!
