Message of the Day!
| Sunday 20 May, 2012 2 Samuel 6:12–15 MAKE THE LEAP OF FAITH Hannah, Elkanah’s much-loved but childless wife, was in severe pain and distress because of her childlessness. Elkanah’s other wife, Peninnah (the Arabic name means a rival or fellow-wife) bore him many children. In biblical literature, ‘fertility’ is a sign of divine favour, while ‘infertility’ is regarded as a sign of divine judgement, the closing of a woman’s womb by God, and childlessness was a disgrace. Peninnah’s constant torment caused her much weeping and suffering, and Elkanah was unable to comfort her. In the darkness of her nightmare, Hannah boldly makes the leap of faith, cries out to the Lord in prayer and makes this vow: ‘O LORD . . . give to your servant a male child, then I will set him before you as a nazirite until the day of his death.’ (part verse 11) Note that a nazirite was someone separated or consecrated to God by means of a special vow. Like Hannah, when we are in distress or downtrodden, with a broken heart and weeping bitterly, let us remember to whom we belong and to whom we can go! Prayer + Lord, in our days of trouble and struggle, help us to make the leap of faith and pray. Amen |
