01. The Scene
Hannah suffered barrenness and mockery. Desperate, she vowed: "Give me a son, and I will give him back to You." Samuel was born.
"For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition that I made to him. Therefore I have lent him to the LORD."
02. The Essence
Many forget vows when relief comes. Hannah didn't. She took the boy to the temple. She understood the blessing wasn't for her ego, but for God's purpose.
03. My Voice
What did you promise God in your tears? Real gratitude keeps vows. Don't cling to the blessing; remember who owns it. Her joy was seeing her son serve the Lord.
