Asked of the Lord | 1 Samuel 1: 9-28
Having been introduced to the characters and the historical backdrop, we discovered a family residing during the era of the judges. Samuel emerged at a parallel time to Samson, both boys were conceived as miraculous gifts and destined to deliver Israel from the clutches of their adversaries. This week, we focus on Hannah, who was grieving while in the sanctuary of God, burdened by a sister-wife, and feeling abandoned by the Lord. Despite her affliction, she found solace in the presence of the Lord, fervently pleading for His favor and a son, a son she would dedicate to the Lord and His house. Samuel was the first Saul, the authentic Saul-the one “asked of the Lord.” In this narrative, Hannah exemplifies piety and anticipation, seeking the Lord’s will for her deepest desire-a son who could serve the Lord in His house. God answered her prayer, and once the boy was weaned, Samuel was dedicated as a Nazirite, destined to lead Israel despite their persistent rebellions. All men yearn for a deliverer, and the measure of one’s righteousness is tied to the kind of deliverer one seeks.

Men are inherently quite boastful, even when it comes to issues we have no reason to boast about. In fact, men will boast about anything if given the right audience and opportunity. When it comes to sin and salvation, men not only deny what the Bible says about the true nature of their souls but also how their problems can be solved. They want to solve their problems on their own or invent some...

One of the great, that is most blessed and awe inspiring, conclusions that we can draw thus far as Paul has dealt with the doctrine of election, and its working out in the judgment of the Jews and the pouring out of mercy and salvation upon the Gentiles is that the Gospel of Jesus Christ for sinners has gone out into all the world. For the 2000 years since the ascension of Christ, His rule and ...

      We do not wage war against evil men out of fear, but rather with a heart of love towards God and for our neighbor (Psalm 63:9-11; 139:21-24). We wield the sword of the Spirit against principalities and powers for the sake of setting others free and unto the destroying of the strongholds of the Devil. We are in a battle (Ephesians 6:10-18) for the souls of men. We believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, of Elijah, Daniel, and Josiah, the God of David and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord. They are the same God, and we believe upon Him and then obey His command to be fruitful, take dominion, make disciples, and take ground from the enemy for the sake of our Risen King!

      @@robertdouglas8895 Christ of course brings peace, blessed peace between God and men, but only through Spirit-wrought union. We do not share this union/peace with all. With some we are in conflict: Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[j] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
