Title: Hannah's Song/1 Samuel 2:1-10
Contents 1993.9.26 Evening 1 Samuel 2:1-10 Hannah's Song
Farmers' wishes are fully fulfilled when the last kilns of grain are safely stored in warehouses, when they will be able to sing a harvest song to indicate that their wishes have come true. From spring to summer and autumn, sowing, cultivating, sweating, and persevering will be rewarded, so you will be able to sing a song of joy and enjoy your hard work.
This will be the case even in the last days of this world, and the pain and groaning of all creation, that is, all the sins, sorrows, tears, and struggles of this world, will be completely finished in the future, and to you and me who have suffered and worked hard to live without mercy. The reward day will come. There will be many people who will be ashamed at that time, but I hope that you will strive to live by faith on this earth and believe that the rewards of your efforts will be reaped on that day.
Hannah's song in the text was childless and she lived in pain and sorrow, but God heard Hannah's prayer and gave her a son. Hannah's hope was fulfilled because she prayed with deep sorrow and prayed to God with patience. So he is praising God.
I believe that a life of gratitude is an essential attitude to sustain a very gracious blessing. Continual gratitude is the source of a beautiful end to all present conditions and enabling the arrival of new ones. To put it simply, the present gratitude becomes the cause of another gratitude.
For example, when our children save the pocket money we gave them to their parents and give them a gift, the parents will have the joy of giving them pocket money.
The title of Hannah's praise in today's text is a song praising Jehovah God. The content of Hannah's song should be the title of our praise.
1) It says that God is the only God. (Verse 2) “There is no one but the Lord,” but this priest must be absolute.
2) Then he said, ‘There is no one holy like the Lord…’. Because He is the only God in heaven and the Lord of all things in the universe, He is truly a fearful person.
Folks, in this world, there is no one who does not think that if there is power, it is always associated with injustice. This time the Chief Justice has changed. However, it is thought that those who may be involved in corruption in their property or those who have been involved in unjust trials in the past should take off their clothes. Now look, it was true that the trial should be just, but in reality, this was not the case.
To say that our God is holy means that saba saba does not work for our God. You do not tolerate injustice.
3) There is no rock like our God.(2)
In other words, the inevitable result of God's purity is purity. That said, it never changes. Our God does not change even in his promises. He is like a rock to those who believe in the promise and keep it. Everyone! Pure faith means unchanging things. We have faith that is less than the tail of a rat, but we cannot communicate with our God of faith that is different from yesterday and today and last year and this year.
4) God is the God of knowledge...(3)
God knows and judges all human beings. Therefore, you can deceive yourself, but you cannot deceive God. So God judges human actions.
Therefore, we are wise to give everything to God. This is because God's foolishness was born more than human wisdom.
For example, after the Exodus from Egypt, we had no choice but to think that Israel would be pursued by the Egyptian army in front of the Red Sea and taken back to Noe, but the result was completely different. Therefore, we believe that we must believe in God's strength, endure today's weakness, and strive to have no shame before God in that day.
6) It sings that God is the Lord of life.(6)
What are you most afraid of in this world? Some of you may be afraid of people, afraid of power, and believe that money is the most powerful thing, but Jesus told us not to fear those who took their lives, but to fear God, who throws our bodies and souls into hell.
7) God has a special interest in His children.(9)
The mother follows and protects the baby when the young child is toddled. But mothers sometimes miss children and make mistakes, but please remember that the eyes of our God never leave us.
8) Those who oppose God are fools.
9) God builds the kingdom of righteousness.
Here Hannah's song is about looking into the distant future and foretelling the coming of a king who will rule in righteousness under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is because of Hannah's earnest prayer, strong faith in God, and God's love that she received God's approval. If we live a life approved by God through faith, just as Hannah received a prophecy from God, we are not prophesied like Hannah, but God gives us a revelatory perspective and leads us to live a wiser life and a more powerful life. I believe you will. Amen
