Inspirational Reading from the Book of 1 Samuel Chapter 1

Be A Promise Keeper ... not A Promise Breaker~

______________________________________________________________
It begins with prayer: When Hannah had prayed and cried out before God to open her womb and give her a son, and made a promise that son would be dedicated to the LORD “all the days of his life – forevermore! 1 Samuel 1:11 “She made a special promise to God and said, "Lord All-Powerful, you can see how sad I am. Remember me. Don't forget me. If you will give me a son, I will give him to you. He will be yours his whole life, and as a Nazirite, he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no one will ever cut his hair."Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version.

She kept baby Samuel close to her and spent quality time at home teaching him the things that he will never forget (Pro. 22:6). Hannah knew that time will come to fulfill what she had promised to God – she knew how difficult it would be keeping that promise – but she needs to do it. She kept her promise and delivered Samuel to the house of the LORD (1 Samuel 1:26-28).

In the world there is this saying: Promises are meant to be broken but in God meant to be kept – just as God has kept every promise made to us. God wants us to fulfill every promise we made before HIM and to everyone: Be a promise keeper ... not a promise breaker!
