Today, Roger takes a closer look at the story of Hannah. The specific areas of focus are:
- God’s plans
- Israel’s first ‘place’ of worship
- Overcoming provocation and harassment
- When “good” is not good enough
- The Source for our answers and troubles
- Hannah’s decision and planning
- Vindication
- For God = Through God = of God
Regarding planning, even before the last of the plagues hit Egypt, God not only had His plans in place, but he had the memorial shared too! God not only planned for Jesus before the word, but He loved Christ before then and chose us then too.
Where was Hannah’s husband from and what was his wife’s name?
What role did Shiloh play soon after the Children of Israel came to the Promised Land? How often did this place factor into the worship of these people?
How did Elkanah feel about his wife Hannah? What was she unable to do? How was she treated for this deficit? What did Hannah do before Eli the priest? What did he think she was doing? Why?
What promise did she make to God? Did God reward her? What did she do with her “gift” early on? How old did this “gift” have to be before she gave him as a loan?
Did she ever see the “gift” again? How often? In 1 Samuel 2, what does scripture record Hannah doing?
What did Hannah’s “gift” do before the Lord and Eli the priest? What became of the “gift”? What happened to Hannah after her amazing gift to God?
