Samuel and two rotten eggs.

1 Samuel has a lot of meat and theology. The beginning has the components of a faithful women who loves and obeys the Lord.Hannah comes year after year with her husband Elkanah. Now the other part of the story is that Elkanah has two wives. In that culture, multiple wives was the norm. His other wife was able to have children. Elkanah being the good husband he was, asked am I not enough? In a sense ,he was asking are you not satisfied with what you have? Maybe we can do that in our own lives. Have it all together , but there is something more we want. Hannah wanted a son. We are allowed to desire things in our life. God is faithful and wants to see these desires come to pass. I know for my own life I have seen the Lord bless and provide the desires of my heart. Hannah cries out to God asking for a son and Eli sees her crying out. He thought she was drunk , but her desire went pass words , but of extreme yearn. What is your your action for a desire you want to come to pass in your life? Maybe a something as simple as a good day or a college experience that will impact your education for a better job opportunity, or even a child of your own. God will give it.Psalm 37:4Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart
