“A Mother’s Model”
Text: I Samuel 1:1-28
Introduction:
Throughout the Bible we find many accounts of Motherhood such as Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Naomi, Ruth and Mary to name a few but this morning we are going to take a look at just one mother who’s name was Hannah. She was a good example of a mother with a true mother’s heart. Hannah was a mother that all mothers today should model after in this day.
Hannah was a very Godly woman. She longed to have a son of her own. So she prayed to God for a son and said that she would dedicate her son back to Him if only He was willing to open up her womb and allow her to have a son.
God listened to her prayer and granted to her the desire of her heart. She name her baby son Samuel. He became a prophet and the high priest of Israel.
In the life of Hannah we find three examples that will help mothers produce children that come to serve God someday.
