Praise the Lord, people of the most high God. Today’s scripture reading is from 1 Samuel 1:8-18 & Psalms 55:16-18.
How sweet is your presence O Lord!
The psalmist says, As for me I will call upon my God , and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning, and at noon I will pray and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me. For there were many against me. He has redeemed you from every battle and given you victory. When we call on His name Jesus He will answer us while we are yet speaking. He is a God who hears us. Hannah went up to Shiloh this time with a different agenda. She neither ate nor drank but went into the temple and poured out her heart before God. She offered her brokenness as a living sacrifice unto the Lord. She made a vow to the Lord. She was groaning from her heart. Only her lips moved but her voice was not heard. She was sorrowful in the spirit. She went into His presence one way and came out with her changed countenance. God changed her mourning into rejoicing. Her petition was granted. In His presence there is answer to prayer. Spend quality time in His presence. He wants to reveal His plans and strategies to you. Don’t RUSH. Enjoy his presence. God bless you!
