Hannah (
1Sam 1:2-28) – she gave that which was
most precious to her, she turned her son over, gave him back to God… he, what
she had most prayed for;
as we were
reminded in our Mother’s Day Sermon Sunday.
Also that Abraham did so with Isaac too(
Gen22). With an emphases
on the motive of heart spoken of in these examples of faith.
That these were done in FAITH not as a whim,
ploy, barter – but in
hearing
Gods call and answering it with their ALL.
Understanding
fully what ALL means- and what ALL God stands for too.
GOD is ALL
Good, Light, Love, Life …just to name a few.
He is
faithful, just, righteous, merciful to name but a few more character traits.
ALL knowing, wise, discerning…
ABLE-
God IS Able;
He IS
The
I AM.
These, those
that heard His call on their heart, and answered it with their ALL…
They
answered with a
“Here ‘i’ am
my Lord” in reply.
Hear the
difference here… it was NOT them telling God how they would reply to Him, and their desires beings served by their self serving directions that they give too God. Why who would do such a thing? Have you ever heard
yourself pray that way to God? I think that we all have to some degree… when we
are most vulnerable, overwhelmed in NEED pleas… “God if YOU do this for me, I’ll
do this for You”, gist of a prayer. Ever
find yourself there?
Alas, … that’s
not the point here though. Its beyond that.
The matter
at hand here is the ALL in us, given over to the ALL of God.
We readily
give Him all our mess ups, needs, cares…
And as well,
we may-
For we have
been taught “Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you” This REMAINS
a steadfast TRUTH.
Feel here, that
we are being reminded of what Hannah and Abraham both
Willingly
gave over to
God-
BY FAITH
In their
constant RELATIONSHIP with God, their “here ‘I’ am Lord,” replied with their ALL
– literally.
For all that
we have, we have by God and belongs to God…
Therefore,
Giving themselves
AND that which was most precious to them too – and feeling NOT a loss in the
doing so, or in the action (not that I can presume to know what anyone thought,
felt).
It wasn’t
about feelings really – it was about
BEING.
BEING IN The Presence of THE I AM
Constantly
in spirit, mind, heart and soul and ALL their strength too-wholeheartedly
LOVING God.
That LOVE
relationship in Faith comprehended the depth and TRUTH of what ALL means. Sacrificial giving was living, breathing,
being in the ALL things.
Yes, knowing
to a greater degree perhaps the TRUTH in Jesus’ words to us in the gospels “What
is impossible for man, is NOT for God.
All things are possible for God”
Hannah gave
BACK to God that which was most precious to her. (from Sunday sermon)
Coupling
this with the days before study that referenced “
The Widow’s Offering”… and how
2 Cor 8:12 speaks to the context of that giving – or our giving.
Understanding
what Hannah gave, and Abraham too, gives greater understanding to living out
loud whole heartedly in FAITH to the ALL of God and being in His presence with your ALL.
That which
is most precious lives out loud full circle here, in this, these relationships with God.
Yes, of
course we have petitions to God in this life – minute by minute perhaps it
seems. Beyond the petitions is the core motive
of heart before any call. The full
circle call of hearing The I Am , with your whole being reply of “here ‘i’ am
Lord”
There lives
the ALL things are possible – living out loud WITH God.
In Jesus’
Holy Precious Name
Amen
Prayer led to from here:
Father God,
this study sheds a new light onto my life of prayer and endless streams of
petitions in it there. Forgive me
God. Thank YOU God for the awakening… in
AWE my Lord of how You continually reveal more and more of just what ALL means…
And, Your
FULL Circle giving of it plan for all humanity.
ALL things defined. As the widow
put in ALL that she had to live on in reply to Your call on her heart, so did Hannah,
Abraham, David, Paul, …on and on The
Bible testifies to those that loved You so.
Motive of heart remains Your measuring rod; According to our faith
too. Amazing Awesome God!

Each of us are given a minimum of one spiritual
gift to walk in faith with. A walk
of faith that with our entire being answers Your call with our humble, “Here ’i’
am” to Your Sovereign ALL. Pretty
amazing revelation…. Reminded of here.
Thank YOU for it God. Amen… and
Amen… In Jesus’ name.
