I Samuel 2 - Children of God

 

I Samuel 2 – Children of God

 

Most people would sing if they could keep their son, but Hannah sang because she could give her son to the service of the Lord.  She glorified the Lord who does great things for His people. Mary’s song is like Hannah’s because Mary had also made a sacrifice to the Lord. First the sacrifice, then the song.

 

Eli had lost his influence over his sons and as a result caused his family to lose the priesthood. The greatest evil comes from the corruption of the greatest good. Eli’s sons illustrate this truth.

 

Blessed are those parents who realize that their children are growing and facing new needs and struggles. And blessed are those children who grow “before the Lord.” God kept Samuel pure amid a defiled environment because he had parents who loved him and prayed for him. Jesus has a special love for children, and we must love them too.

 

Please read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
