Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow.
But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and stay there forever.” Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the Lord confirm His word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord in Shiloh, although the child was young. Then they slaughtered the bull, and brought the boy to Eli. She said, “Oh, my Lord! As your soul lives, my Lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the Lord. For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him. So I have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.
1 Samuel 1:21-‬28 NASB

God gave Hannah her greatest desired treasure. Hannah also returned that desired treasure, her greatest blessing back to God. Will be done

I admire Elkanah’s words to Hannah; “Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the Lord confirm His word.” Elkanah respected Hannah’s choice, that she had sought the Lord in her decision. He also gave her good advice: affirm that this decision is from God and ask God to help you to do His will.

🌹God is a giver of blessings. What blessing are you willing to give God? Your life for His service and purpose?

Continually Seeking Him,
