Reading: Matthew 3 and 1 Samuel 1-3
Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:19-20, They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her. And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, "I have asked for him from the Lord."
Observation: In todays reading God reminded me on how faithful he is both in blessings and cursings. In the first chapter of 1 Samuel when Hannah prayed and weeped for a son and even offering him to God. Later God remembers her and she conceives and has Samuel. Later God sends Eli a messenger telling him that his family will be cursed, then later confirms it through establishing Samuel as a profit and telling him of the curse.
Application: There are of many doctrines of faith out there in the Christian world and some of them ignore the curse that God lay our before us and only look at the blessings. We have to be carful to not only look at the blessings but to understand that there are curses that can afflict us.
Prayer: Father you are so faithful I stand humbly before your. I thank you for all the provisions and blessings you choose to pour out on us. All I have is yours and I am only a steward of it. Lord I ask that you help us to see your blessings and understand that there are cursing that can happen.
