I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” 1 Samuel 1:27-28 (NIV)
Hannah was barren, she asked God for a child and He gave her a son – 1 Samuel 1. She dedicated her son Samuel to the Lord, to minister all his Life. What Hannah gave to the Lord she got back multiplied in the joy and satisfaction of her son growing in favor with God and men 1 Samuel 2:26; Samuel ministered before the Lord as a great prophet 1 Samuel 3:20, and he was judge of Israel all his life – 1 Samuel 7:15.Dedicate your life, energies, time, and possessions to God. Let everything you are and have serve and honor God. You’ll get it all back multiplied over to you in the joy and satisfaction of its blessing God’s kingdom, many others, and you.
