A Godly Mother Recognizes When God Answers Her Prayer ()
A Godly Mother Recognizes When God Answers Her Prayer ()
They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
Last week we left Hannah and Elkanah coming from the Temple after Hannah had petitioned God for a son.
Elkanah knew his wife and God “remembered” Hannah.
1 SAM
Elkanah and Hannah continued to be faithful in the Lord.
Elkanah and Hannah continued their loving relationship in marriage.
Faithful actions by God’s causes him to remember them.
And when God remember’s his people, lives are changed.
God remembered Noah in the days of the Flood!
God remembered Abraham when he destroyed Sodom!
God remembered Rachel when she conceived Joseph!
God remembered Abraham in the days of Moses!
God now remembers Hannah in the loving action between her and her husband!
Remembering Hannah meant also that God was remembering his people Israel!
And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, “I have asked for him from the Lord.”
Hannah recognized that it was because
Because Hannah is a faithful Godly mother she recognizes that God has answered her prayer!
Hannah names him in honor of her recognition of what God did.
Samuel is a play on words:
Samuel name means or sounds similar to “God answered.”
The Bible explains it well, She asked God and God answered!

A year later the time has come around again to go up to the Lord. Elkanah continues to show his faithfulness.
The man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and to pay his vow.
But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, so that he may appear in the presence of the Lord and dwell there forever.”
1 Samuel 1:
Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him; only, may the Lord establish his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.
And if she vowed in her husband’s house or bound herself by a pledge with an oath, and her husband heard of it and said nothing to her and did not oppose her, then all her vows shall stand, and every pledge by which she bound herself shall stand. But if her husband makes them null and void on the day that he hears them, then whatever proceeds out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning her pledge of herself shall not stand. Her husband has made them void, and the Lord will forgive her. Any vow and any binding oath to afflict herself, her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he establishes all her vows or all her pledges that are upon her. He has established them, because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard of them. But if he makes them null and void after he has heard of them, then he shall bear her iniquity.”
Numbers 30:10-15

And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and she brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh. And the child was young.
Then they slaughtered the bull, and they brought the child to Eli.
And she said, “Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord.
And she said, “Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord.
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him.
Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord.”
And he worshiped the Lord there.
Romans 12
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
