"My heart rejoices in the LORD;
in the LORD my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
for I delight in your deliverance.
2 "There is no one holy like the LORD;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.
The first things I notice in this scripture is that Hannah's first words here after she gives Samuel to the LORD, are all completely happy, and joyful. The first thing she says is that she is filled with joy!
This is just a great picture of how we are filled with joy when we are giving people, when we are faithful, and when we are committed in love to the LORD.
When we give our best, and our all the results are so wonderful.
Hannah was filled with delight as she gave to the LORD her son as she had promised.
She was no longer in any rival between Peninnah, and was satisfied with what the LORD had given her. She no longer envied, or was angry with Peninnah, and did not blame Elkanah for any more pain, because all of her pain was taken away. The LORD delivered her from her pain, and shame-And He will do the same for us, we just need to ask Him to.
Then she declares praise to God saying "There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God" So she got a picture, and an experience that revealed to her that God really is HOLY, and there is NO ONE like Him, and that He is the ROCK on which we stand.
God revealed Himself to Hannah in the most amazing ways. After laboring in PRAYER, she gave birth to a prophet. The LORD does amazing things, and no one can fathom His ways.
How blessed are we to partner in prayer with this God!!
Just as the LORD did amazing things with Hannah, and Samuel, He can, and wants to do amazing things with you, and in you, and through you. Sometimes we are brought to places of brokenness, and places where we get nothing, do nothing, and we feel like nothing, but it is in those times, and places where if we would lift a desperate cry to the LORD He pours out His Spirit, and makes Himself known in ways that we do not understand. This is so amazing to me that everywhere in the Word, Jesus points us to prayer, and He directs us to pour out ourselves to Him in surrender and love. We can clearly see that He is after something, after one thing, and that is our hearts. He wants us. All of us. All the time, and He will do whatever it takes for us to choose to be ALL HIS or not His at all. He is waiting to pour out what we have never experienced, and I want to be one to see, and experience what He has to give in all of His goodness.
This is an amazing truth, and I want to encourage you in the LORD that He alone is worthy of all that we are, and the reward in HIM is greater than anything we have EVER SEEN, or EVER TASTED. Who will take the stand to go after Him?
Praise the LORD.
