Momma's Heartbeat

Daddy's Breath

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!

A New Leaf

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.

Thank Heaven For Little Girls
