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.
