A Righteous Character

1 Samuel 1

Inspired Thots

Hannah had a life that was blessed as she was loved by her husband but it was also empty and tormenting being childless and provoked by unkind and jealous parties.

Hannah was righteous because she sought the Lord on her heart's desire and made good her promise to the Lord in dedicating Samuel in due time. Hannah freely poured out her soul to the Lord of all her anguish and grief. (v16) and He heard her.

Reminds me of dedicating and releasing my own children to the Lord; earthly parents can only 'nurse' them so much. After they are weaned, they should be released to the Lord who would teach and guide them Himself. And THAT is the Better Plan.
