Bible Discussion Thread

I have written several messages that Samuel has served as biblical resources. One-Self pity-Hannah and Sarah felt sorry for themselves. They were barren. In those days being barren lowered a woman's worth. I tied in other similarities of Hannah and Sarah. Both had great husbands that God gave favor to. They both had other women that produced offspring from their husbands. They both had to tolerate the humiliation and unkind treatment from these women, including gloating and flaunting that they could have children and Sarah and Hannah could not. Something that I can relate to. God in his timing allowed me to finally conceive. Elkana and Abraham loved their wives, showed favor to them, making the situation worse. These stories are a good example of what can and does happen when you pour out your heart to God, and, give your problems to God. Having FAITH that it is in God's hands and its God's will as to outcome.
