Title Hannah's Decision (1 Samuel 1:10-18)
Contents
There are many people living in the world. Just as each person is different, they have different thoughts and different ways of living. Some people just want to live a normal life and some don't want to live a normal life. Even in the Bible, there are people who have lived a normal life and there are people who don't.
Hannah, who appeared in today's reading, is one of those people who do not want to live a normal life.
Although living as a concubine was not permitted by God, it was pervasive throughout society in the ancient Near East. Hannah, who appears here, is also one of the concubines. If you want to live a normal life, you can live quietly while receiving the love of your husband. But Hannah did not want to live a normal life. He wanted to live by seeing miracles. In general, if you want to live mediocre, you can invest in mediocre things. But if you want to live miraculously, you have to invest in miraculous things. For those who want to live an ordinary life, ordinary is happiness. Those who want to live a miraculous life like that are happy only with a miraculous life. When a miraculous life comes to a person who wants to live a normal life, he is anxious and burdened. Likewise, if a miracle does not happen to a person who wants to live a miraculous life, they will not be happy because of their frustration and suffering. Do you want to live a normal life? Do you want to live miraculously? Hannah, introduced here, is a man who miraculously wanted to live. I don't want to live a normal life either. Because faith is the hope and hope of miracles.
I don't want to be a regular pastor. So I opened up.
I don't want to live a normal life. I want to live miraculously. Hannah, who does not want to live a normal life but wants to live a miraculous life, find out what she did and wish you a blessed time.
First, if you want to live an ordinary life, you must invest in ordinary things. But if you want to live miraculously, you shouldn't invest in ordinary things. To live miraculously by investing in ordinary things is like trying to get a harvest without effort. To live miraculously, you must invest in miraculous things.
If you want to achieve what it takes 6 years to achieve in 3 years, you will have to spend a lot of effort, time and money. Let's say we want to build a bridge over the Han River. To shorten the construction period from 12 years to 6 years, we need to pour our sweat and self-indulgence into the boat.
Those who want to have an ordinary life of faith can invest in ordinary things. But anyone who wants to do something miraculous must invest in something extraordinary that goes beyond the ordinary. Because Hannah in the text wanted a miraculous life
First: I invested suffering.
In verse 10 of the text, the phrase “because of my troubled heart” is found.
If a woman wants to live without children, she does not have to go through the pain of childbirth. But to become a mother, she has to go through the pain of childbirth. To achieve miracles, you must invest suffering. Miracles do not come without pain. The husband tells Hannah. They tell me to live a normal life because I can love even if I don't have children. But Hannah wants to live miraculously even if she suffers. How about you? Do you want to live miraculously even when you suffer? Do you just want to live a normal life?
I want to live miraculously even with heartache. Do you want to receive answers even by fasting and praying? Do you want to see God's miracles even if you stay up all night? Do you want to see a miracle even if you sacrifice your early morning sleep, or do you want to sleep normally?
Esther fasted for three days and rushed towards a miracle. In the end, a miracle happened and all the Jews were saved. If he had wanted to be ordinary, he might have remained queen, but he would have suffered the guilt of his people for the rest of his life. Hannah suffered heartbreak because she wanted a miracle. If you want God's miraculous grace, you must invest in suffering.
Second: I invested my tears.
In verse 10 of the text, it is said that we wept.
Laughter may be a lie, but tears cannot lie. Miracles don't happen if you don't invest tears to achieve your goals. There is a saying that he who has not eaten the bread of tears cannot understand life. To live miraculously, tears must flow. It is a miracle that Hannah will have a son and all of Hannah's wishes will come true. Have you come to God and wept to accomplish your will? Have you cried and prayed?
Only those who have invested in hot tears can experience miracles.
Third: We invested in Sumo.
Who in the world wants to be humiliated and humiliated?
Hannah prayed so earnestly that she was treated like a drunken man. In order to make a wish come true, it is said that any insult was sweetly received. To see a miracle, you have to invest more shame and shame
To see miracles in evangelism, you must invest in shame and shame. Jesus invested in shame and shame to save us.
Fourth: When the purpose is fulfilled, we decided to return it to God.
When I gave birth to a son, I decided to give it to God.
Fifth: I respected the servant of God and valued his guidance.
Sixth: Invest in love.
When a person is loved, he becomes more motivated, passionate, and confident.
Be brave and bold when you are being recognized. When you receive praise, you gain strength.
Also, when you have someone to love, you are more motivated and empowered.
When I have something to praise, when I have something to acknowledge, I am overflowing with motivation.
Hannah was loved by her husband. But I needed something to love. The subject was a baby. So he asked God to give him the child. And when he gave the child, he sent him to the temple as promised, and he lived a life of contentment and strength. Because the mere fact that he has someone to love makes his life exciting.
Dear saints, do you want to live a miraculous life? Be the object of God's love And set the object of your love as God. Because of you, my life has meaning.
People often say that I am passionate and passionate. Here's the trick. I choose what I love and work while I love it. Don't ask that person for a doctor. It's just what I choose and love. If you choose me as the object of love and try to love me, then you will have strength just by looking at my face and will overflow with will to live just by looking at my back. Don't ask me for a doctor, just decide and only you know. Because if you tell them, you feel burdened, so you decide for yourself and you gain strength. When he has such a loved one, he becomes an active and passionate person in everything. I have made God the object of my love. I don't care what God does. Because I love you, I understand everything. I prayed for my son to go to Seoul National University, but he was accepted into the foreign university. He did not complain about why he didn't do what I asked for. It all makes sense because I love God.
Do you want to live miraculously this year? Invest in God, the Source of Miracles Invest in Love Be the object of love and love, and miracles will happen.
For the sake of the one you love, can't you give it to the people in pain or to the people in tears?
Can't stand the conspirators for the sake of the one you love?
I love you, can't you give me back what he gave me?
If it is for the servant of God whom the beloved loves, what cannot be done?
When this happens, a miraculous life will come true. I pray that you will live a miraculous life by becoming the object of God's love and God as the object of love.
