MOTHER DAY’S SERMON
A MOTHER WITH A VISION
1 Samuel 1:9-11; 19-20; 21-28
Today, we celebrate Mother’s Day. I believe it is our desire to learn more about what it means to dedicate ourselves and our children to God. In this text a childless mother prays for and is given a baby boy. She in turn dedicates that child to God. The lady name is Hannah. Her child’s name is Samuel. The word Samuel means “Name of God.” it signified the special circumstances under which Samuel was born. Samuel was a strategic leader in the life of the Israelite people. In the history of Israel, he served in a transitional period. Samuel served in the interim period between the judges and the kings. He was one of God’s big league servants. There is an encouraging thought behind this passage. God used Hannah to raise a strategic player in His service. God maybe using you as parents, to raise an important leader for our nation, our schools, or our churches.
Take a look at Hannah and learn from her. She was a mother with a vision. Hannah was a good example of dedication and a good example of a Godly mother. What can we learn from her that will help us in our walk with the Lord? Let’s look at three commitments which Hannah made in her vision, which every parent and every person should make.
I.
COMMIT YOUR SITUATION TO GOD
v. 9
( Hannah rushed to the temple to commit her situation to God)
II.
COMMIT YOURSELF TO GOD
v. 10-11
III.
COMMIT YOUR BEST TO GOD
v. 21-28
