TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 1-3 chapters DEVOTION
Hannah waited many years for a child. When God answered her prayer and gave her Samuel, she did something extraordinary she kept her promise and gave him back to God. What she longed for the most, she surrendered to the Lord.
Hannah understood an important truth that he was a gift from God. By dedicating Samuel to serve in the Tabernacle, she was not losing him but returning him to the One who gave him.
This story challenges us to think about our own commitment to God. Sometimes we offer Him things that cost us very little an hour on Sunday or small acts that do not require sacrifice.
But God desires more than that, he desires
OUR WHOLE HEART,
OUR PLANS,
OUR FUTURE.
True dedication means trusting God with what we value most. When we surrender our lives fully to Him, we acknowledge that everything we have ultimately belongs to Him.
Are we giving God only what is convenient or are we willing to dedicate our entire life to Him like Hannah did?
PRAYER
Dear God, I offer my whole heart, my plans, my future in to your mighty hands. Amen.
