Take A Walk

"...and her face was no longer sad" 1 Samuel 1:18
Enjoy reading 1 Samuel 1:1-28

Hannah was a faithful gal with a problem. She prayed and looked to God to solve her poblem;
however, she looked to Him with eyes full of distress, sorrow and bitterness. What Hannah didn't realize
was that her negative emotions were blocking the work of God in her life. Hannah allowed the problem
to keep her trapped in emotional weakness.

After embarrassing herself in front of Eli the High Priest (while she was praying) one day, Hannah was given a revelation
through Eli's short winded sermon. "Go in peace". Eli didn't ask what her prayer request was, or why she was so deeply depressed.
He didn't offer to pray for her. He simply spoke truth to her. He knew if God was going to grant her request, she needed to "go in peace".
It was her choice.

Hannah took the priestly advice with no excuses. She was probably exhausted from crying and exhausted from waiting,
but she dug her heels in and went her way. She left her problem at the altar. "She went her way and her face was no longer sad". Hannah accepted the path God had for her.
She worshipped. God moved and answered her prayer. Her problem was solved.

If you have a problem(s) that no one can solve but God, look to Him. Look to Him with faith. Don't cling to your trouble. Let it go.
Go your way. Take a walk in peace. Smile and watch God move.
