One last lesson that we need to learn from Hannah is that of
thanksgiving. She worshipped, praised and magnified God who turned her mourning
to dancing as well as her shame to honour. She had the right response: genuine
gratitude. The wordings of her song of praise and thanksgiving (1 Samuel
2:1-10) reveal the nature of battle she had fought and how marvellous God has been
in fighting for her. Beloved, I encourage you to make giving thanks, praise and
worship to God a daily habit. You will receive more blessings from God.
It is important to note that after Hannah had given God quality thanks
and had given Samuel back to God to minister to Him as she had vowed, God
blessed her even more. 1 Samuel 2:18-21 underscores this, "But Samuel
ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. Moreover
his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year,
when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. And Eli
blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman
for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home. And
the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two
daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD."
Beloved, note that Hannah expressed her deep and sincere gratitude to
God in her prayer, worship and praise. She was thankful for one son and God
gave her three sons and two daughters more. God wiped off her tears, silenced
her mockers and turned her sorrow to joy. Are you trusting God for a marital
breakthrough, fruit of the womb or something else? Declare a season of
thanksgiving and praise to God. Do not stop until you have the assurance that
your request has been granted.
I also want you to note that Hannah did not abandon God, the house of
God where her prayer was answered nor God's priest, Eli. In 1 Samuel 1:17, Eli
said, "Go in peace and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou
has asked of him." Immediately after this the Bible affirms that Elkanah
knew Hannah and God remembered her. It was the same Priest Eli who blessed the
couple and Hannah conceived and had five more children. Beloved, believe God
and you will be established; believe His prophet and you will prosper (2
Chronicles 20:20).
