Tonight we read the promise of a son to faithful Hannah and how she dedicated that son to live at the temple. This son, Samuel, was left with the priest Eli who had 2 wicked sons. Samuel was awakened by the Lord one night and given the message that these 2 sons would not continue rule in Eli's temple. This was the first of many prophetic messages that Samuel would bring God's people who remained faithful and obedient to listen to the Lord. My husband reflected on how he thought as a kid how great it would be to live like little Samuel at the temple and learn about the things of God all that time, except that he would miss his family.
If you are following along with the Bible in Stories - pages 224-229
If using the Bible or another Bible reader - 1 Samuel 1-3
I made this ornament today for my friend using the Voskamp booklet. It is the town of Bethlehem, prophesied to be the place of Christ's birth in the Old Testament. It's simple but I really like how it turned out. I could work on these all day!
