And Hannah prayed and said,
“My heart exults in the LORD;
my horn is exalted in the LORD.
My mouth derides my enemies,
because I rejoice in your salvation.
“There is none holy like the LORD:
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.
Talk no more so very proudly,
let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the LORD is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
The bows of the mighty are broken,
but the feeble bind on strength.
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.
The barren has borne seven,
but she who has many children is forlorn.
The LORD kills and brings to life;
he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
The LORD makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low and he exalts.
He raises up the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap
to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's,
and on them he has set the world.
“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,
but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,
for not by might shall a man prevail.
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces;
against them he will thunder in heaven.
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth;
he will give strength to his king
and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
(1 Samuel 2:1-10 ESV)
Hannah was a revolutionary mom. She was willing to be and do something totally different than all the other moms of her day. She was willing to give her child to do whatever God needed to do to bring her nation back to God, to bring about the change that was so desperately needed. She was so in tune with God, and the great and faithful God that He is, that she was willing to trust Him fully with her son. We need moms who believe the things above about God, and who are willing to make the sacrifices involved in giving their children back to God, Whose they really are in the first place. It's going to take a lot of prayer, a lot of courage, and a lot of faith. Are you in, moms?
