What is Strength part 2- Hannah 1 Samuel 1-2

So Left off with Her crying and praying. In her prayers she made a vow , that if she had a son, she would give him back to God and not cut his hair. 1:11. Well as we know, her husband lay with her and she had a son. v.19-20

What I find beautiful is it says, "the Lord remembered her"(v19).....God isn't some being looking in from a telescope. He knows each and everyone of us. When He says he is there, He is right there.

Onward we go, She weaned Samuel, made it so he would not need as much care. If anything would hold me from giving up my child, especially my first, it would be the years spent before, hand feeding, watching, teaching. I'm no mother, so i can only think it super harder for her to do this. Also knowing she would be giving him up. Yet, she did. Also, look quick at her husband, easily he could have told her " don't care what you said, lets get the kid up there now" instead, he supported her (v23). How many times have i failed at that? How many times have we all failed at that? Instead of supporting we try and take control? Yet, thank God for more chances! I hope.

Ok, distraction over :). She weaned him and then she gave him over. What in the WORLD?! This is where her strength of character, her righteousness, her devotion to God is on a pedestal ! (v 24-28)
SHE GAVE HER LIFE (son) TO GOD ..... In a time where children were super important (way more than today) she gave hers back to GOD .
Not only did she do it, she did it with such um, class and humility, praising God. (her prayer in chp 2).
I don't know much, but this woman was amazing, i don't think she knew it then, but God, through her,(the weeping, the praying, the vow, the fulfillment), just produced one of the greatest judges and prophet in history. See how through one, through someone who went through pain, lots of it, God pretty much just brought some salvation, power, and guidance to His people. Thank you Hannah for what you did.

Thank you for your time and attention, i hope this encourages you and PLEASE leave some comments on anything i missed or over looked or anything in general, what you see and so forth.

Peace, Love, Joy, Happiness, Blessing ..... Always...... In God

P.S.
Oops, almost forgot, Samuel's home was Ramah where His famiy was from, so God brought back her son to her (plus she always got to see him once a year and made him robes, 2:18) and she had more kids (3 sons 2 daughters, 2:21, tell me she didn't get blessed.....sarcasm). God is Good.
