Introduction
Today’s reading is Hannah’s prayer upon offering Samuel as a servant to the LORD. She offers God praise and thanksgiving, celebrating the ways in which God offers safety, sustenance, and care.
Today’s Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:1a (GNT)
Hannah prayed: “The LORD has filled my heart with joy; how happy I am because of what He has done!”
Today’s Reading
1 Samuel 2:1-11
Reflect
Some scholars believe that parts of this prayer may have been taken from older prayers that were used to give thanks after receiving God’s help. The prayer celebrates God’s power to change human situations from bad to good so that those in need are helped. According to Hannah’s prayer, what are some of the ways God helps people? Does God act in similar ways today?
Pray
You fill my heart with joy, Lord. How happy I am because of what You have done! Thank You for the ways in which You care for and protect me. You alone are God. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Children in foster care.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Samuel 2:12-26: The sons of Eli sin in the sight of the LORD.
