THE DAILY FOUNTAIN
DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE
CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)
DATE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2017
TOPIC: BY STRENGTH, NO MAN SHALL PREVAIL
READ: I SAMUEL 2:1-11
When Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord at Shiloh, she expressed her gratitude to God in prayer. This time, her prayer was not that of petition but praise (verse 1). Her heart rejoiced and her horn was lifted high. The Lord did it for her. Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30: 5b). May this also be your experience in any matter for which you are waiting on the Lord. In her song of praise, she recognised the futility of man's effort without God and the sovereignty of God in her life and situation. Her experience of barrenness gave her the privilege of seeing different attributes of God.
In verses 2-8, she saw God as Rock, Omniscient, Omnipotent and a perfect Judge. What would your song of praise to God say about Him? Do you understand that any success in life and ministry comes from the Lord? He alone crowns all your efforts with success. Hannah understood this fact and praised God. Christians must also understand that: "the race is neither to the swift nor the battle to the strong" (Ecclesiastes 9: 11a). Let us therefore, live in total dependence on God's sovereignty over our lives and situations.
PRAYER: Lord, please crown my efforts with Your success.
