Go In Peace
Hello:
I am currently in Texas and had difficulty getting my daily devotional up the last couple of days.
I know that we are currently doing the study of Matthew, but for the past couple of days, I have been doing a study on the book of Samuel. I am in the 1st chapter, which covers the story of the circumstances of the birth of Samuel.
The story talks about a man by the name of Elkanah and his wife Hannah who was barren. Hannah’s name means favor but everything but favor was happening to her. She desperately wanted children and also wanted the reproach associated from barreness from off her life. It was believed that if a woman was barren then it was a sign of disfavor from God.
Elkanah has another wife by the name of Penninah who is able to have children and she is a constant vexation to Hannah as a reminder of what can not happen in her life. The bible says that Penninah tortures her to the point of tears and loss of apetite.
One day Hannah decides to go to the temple and pray to God that He would remember her and cause her to have a male son and in return, she would dedicate the child back to the Lord. The text says that she is praying with bitterness of soul and her lips are moving but nothing is coming out of her mouth.
Eli, the priest is there and he accusses Hannah of being drunk because he sees her lips moving but nothing is coming out of her mouth.
Hannah, tells Eli, that she is not a daughter of Belial but that she is simply in pain over her situation and is praying out of a sorrowful spirit and has simply poured out her soul to the Lord.
Eli, responds with this verse, that has really blessed me.
I Samuel 1:17 ” Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
I simply want to encourage someone today to Go in peace. God will grant thee thy petition according to his will. Go in peace. Be at peace today. Relax, take a deep breath. It’s so okay.
Please be encouraged. This is so heavy on my heart, and I believe that the Lord is speaking peace to your situation.
All is well, Everything is Safe and Everything is As it Should be.
Don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.

Dear Sista in Christ as you minister and teach in Texas, may God richly bless the endeavours you are undertaking in His most holy name. Trust me - you have encouraged me greatly with this scripture. My morning devotion verse today’s was along the same lines, namely Mark 11:23 (King James Version)
23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
What a friend we have in Jesus!!!

Hi Bernice
Well I am glad you went off track and posted this lesson.
I really need to slow down. I fret for nothing when I need to just wait and keep seeking God. I do not know when I am going to leave this earth and I cannot have the time that I am here for my soul to be bothered due to my circumstances at any given time.
I was praying you were just having trouble posting and everything was okay with you. I view the lessons from my phone but I cannot post a message from my phone. I do not have computer access unless I am working, and I have not been to work since Sunday. So, I definitely was going to write you today to make sure you were okay if you had not posted.
I am glad you are okay. I wish you well in Texas.
I am getting baptized this coming Sunday.:)
With Love,
Iris
