Five little words….squeezed in between….Sometimes what we think is the focal point, God squeezes in between His greater lesson.
I was reading about Hannah this week, Samuel’s mother, as found in I Samuel 1. We read all about her life situation, her priestly counsel and her fervent prayer. Hannah’s life story is important to all that God was getting ready to do. Hannah thought it was all about having a baby. Five little words tucked in a verse, “(Hannah) gave birth to a son” I Samuel 1:20. That pinnacle moment was NOT the end goal. God had bigger plans for His redemption story as lived out through Hannah and Samuel.
What are you waiting for? What “end” are your prayers seeking? Consider that your goal may be God’s great beginning!
“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:13
