“Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the

Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.” 1 Samuel 1:28

Have you ever wanted something so bad, you would do almost anything to

see it happen? Hannah did. She was barren and getting older every year

while her husband’s other wife was having kids and rubbing it in her face.

God heard her prayers and graciously gave her a son. But, what did Hannah

do with that great treasure? She gave him back to the Lord, allowing him to

be raised in the temple, set apart for service to him.

Think about what you have been asking God for. Are you ready to give it

back? Is that why you haven’t received it yet? Remember, after Hannah gave

her son to the Lord, he blessed her with more.

Everything we have comes from the Father so we should

follow Hannah’s example by giving it all back for his use and glory. You’ll

be glad you did!
