I Samuel 1:28.
From the first book of Samuel through to the end of second Chronicles, we come across the name of four people who play a very important part in bringing back that departed Glory.
The first is Hannah, the second is Samuel, the third is David, and the fourth is Solomon. In the Six books we find that these four characters play a very big part in bringing back the departed glory. As we go along we shall see how these four names speak of four divine principles. In fulfilling these principles we shall find God’s departed glory coming into our hearts, into our assemblies, and into our work. First of all turn to I Samuel 1:2, the name Hannah means grace.
We are told that as Hannah was being so sorely provoked she went and fasted and prayed, yet it seemed that God did not hear her prayer. So she continued weeping, and went on praying with faith.
All her tears were for her need. She did not know that God could also have some need! Then her prayer changed; “ Lord, now I forsake my own selfish need, and promise that if you give me a man-child, he will be lent back to thee.” Somehow, when she discovered God’s need, God answered her prayer and gave her a son.
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“In due season we shall reap, if we faint not”. Gal.6:9.
