1 Samuel 2:1,2,8-10 (NIV)
“My heart rejoices in the LORD;
in the LORD my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
for I delight in your deliverance.
2 There is no one holy like the LORD;
there is no one besides you
there is no Rock like our God.
8 He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap
he seats them with princes
and has them inherit a throne of honor…
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful servants…
It is not by strength that one prevails…
The Most High will thunder from heaven…
He will give strength to his king
and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
“It is the Most High who will thunder from heaven when his kingdom comes – ultimately in Jesus. Now Hannah has seen and experienced that it is the Lord in his kingdom who thunders louder than any storm in our lives. And Hannah’s experience of God’s kingdom went beyond her. As she caught a glimpse of the King Jesus to come. She was part of that kingdom coming in her generation as she offered herself to the Lord as his servant. Her life is a testimony and an invitation to us also to pray.” [Adapted from Brenda’s message.]
Prayer: Jesus, we rejoice in you! There is no other rock. We are your servants. We pray for others to realize their need for you and to receive your kingdom invitation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
