A Son Given to the Lord
1 Samuel 1:20 So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
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.
I have 2 sons. They are a gift to me, and they belong to the Lord. What if God entrusted 3 sons to me? What if Samuel was given to me right between my 2 boys? I can learn much from a Hannah-type. Like my 2 sons, it would be a joy to pray for this child, give him to the Lord, and imagine him worshiping there.
