TITLE: Lessons From the Life of Hannah<\/p>\n
TEXT: 1 Samuel 1:1-17<\/p>\n
INTRODUCTION:<\/p>\n
1. 3000 years ago Hannah was born in the land of Israel. It was a land of farming and ranching. She was a country girl.<\/p>\n
2. It appeared that Hannah was doomed to a second-rate existence.<\/p>\n
1) In a world where mothers were valued, Hannah had no children and it appeared she never would.<\/p>\n
2) She was married to a fairly wealthy man by the name of Elkanah. He could afford two wives and many children.<\/p>\n
3) She had an adversary in the form of Peninnah, Elkanah’s second wife. Peninnah provoked Hannah.<\/p>\n
4) Hannah lived a life of being continually upset because of Peninnah.<\/p>\n
5) In the ancient world, it was thought that if one was not blessed it was because of sin in your life.<\/p>\n
a. It was a great problem for Rachel, the wife of Jacob, Gen. 30:1.<\/p>\n
b. Job was accused of sin because of his calamities, Job 8.<\/p>\n
c. Even centuries later Elisabeth thanked the Lord for taking away her “reproach among men,” Luke 1:25.<\/p>\n
3. But Hannah had a spirit that would not give up.<\/p>\n
1) She was only willing to accept her lot if God said so.<\/p>\n
2) She was willing to offer to God all she had.<\/p>\n
3) How Hannah went about trying to change her lot is well worth studying.<\/p>\n
4. What we’re going to notice today is…<\/p>\n
1) Hannah’s trust in God.<\/p>\n
2) Hannah’s knowledge of God.<\/p>\n
3) Hannah’s integrity.<\/p>\n
4) Hannah’s bounty.<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION:<\/p>\n
1. Hannah was in bitterness of soul, v. 12.<\/p>\n
2. She and Elkanah were not capable, she was barren.<\/p>\n
3. She was harassed by her rival.<\/p>\n
4. We that trust are at our most powerful when we have no more reserves of our own. “Where could I go but to the Lord…”<\/p>\n
5. She made her request and was validated by the high priest, 1:17.<\/p>\n
6. She received her request. She had a son, 1:19.<\/p>\n
7. One can only imagine the look on her face when she heard the empty, shallow bleatings of her rival in the future.<\/p>\n
8. Woman with an issue of blood, Luke 8:43-48.<\/p>\n
9. Woman of Canaan, Matthew 15:22-28.<\/p>\n
10. Where do you go when you are out of resources?<\/p>\n
11. Are you willing to give it all back to God? Matt. 19:16-28.<\/p>\n
1. Where did Hannah’s conviction come from?<\/p>\n
2. She wasn’t a simple-minded material girl. This woman knew her Bible, 2:1-10.<\/p>\n
3. She spoke of:<\/p>\n
1) Salvation\/Victory<\/p>\n
2) Holiness<\/p>\n
3) Judgment<\/p>\n
4) God’s Ability\/Omnipotence. God can and man is impotent before Him.<\/p>\n
4. Brings to mind Mary’s knowledge, Luke 1:46-56.<\/p>\n
5. So, if faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17)…<\/p>\n
6. Hannah listened to the teachers and priests and took the things of God to heart.<\/p>\n
7. Have you ever bemoaned the fact that a deep knowledge of scripture has eluded you. 1 Tim. 4:13; Psa. 1:2; Psa. 119:11; Ezra 7:10<\/p>\n
1. “I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life…,” 1:11.<\/p>\n
2. No razor (Nazarite vow), Jdg. 13:5.<\/p>\n
3. He was presented to Eli, 1:24-28<\/p>\n
4. Samuel ministered before the Lord, 2:18-19.<\/p>\n
5. It’s easy to conveniently forget a vow.<\/p>\n
1) “Keep my family safe and I’ll quit smoking\/clean up my language\/attend worship like I should.”<\/p>\n
2) Hannah promised to give up her son. Then she gave up her son.<\/p>\n
6. I don’t see how doing anything you’re already supposed to be doing would interest God.<\/p>\n
7. Hannah’s vow wasn’t something she should already be doing.<\/p>\n
1. The Lord visited Hannah, 2:21. 2 more sons and 2 daughters.<\/p>\n
2. No more bitterness of soul. No more fretting.<\/p>\n
3. God delights in giving, Matt. 7:11.<\/p>\n
4. He is the giver of all good things, Jas. 1:17<\/p>\n
5. God gives Solomon more than he asks, 1 Kings 3:9-14.<\/p>\n
CONCLUSION:<\/p>\n
1. This is a very personal story. Our crises are very personal.<\/p>\n
1) It may be illness.<\/p>\n
2) Or financial crisis.<\/p>\n
3) Or safety.<\/p>\n
2. Answered prayer calls for a spirit that will lay it in God’s hands.<\/p>\n
3. Hannah approached boldly to the throne of God and made her request. She then committed everything to him. She reserved nothing.<\/p>\n
4. Commit yourself to:<\/p>\n
1) Trusting God.<\/p>\n
2) Knowing your Bible.<\/p>\n
3) Keeping your vows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
