The Cry

"Hannah, why are you crying?" Her husband Elkanah asked. "Why won't you eat? Why are you troubled? Am I not better to you than 10 sons?- 1Samuel 1:8 Isn't that how we feel at times? Well, it may not be over not falling pregnant, but there are so many things that troubles us. I sometimes sit and wonder, when will God come through. Therer are times I feel like doing my own things, but then I'm reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will guide you on the right path." That s not easy. So when I feel like acting on my own plans, I am reminded of what God did yesterday, last month or even this morning. He is so faithful in all His ways and here we want to not trust Him. I am hosting a ladies event soon and I am so nervous. There still so much I have to do and it seems as if nothing will be done on time. I am putting my trust in God and I know He will send he right people to attend. I trust God to send people who will help and I trust God to bless them abundantly. The same like Hannah, I pray and I do doubt and I know there are times you doubt as well, but we have to keep on hoping and not look at the unseen. There are people like Elkanah who questions your emotions, but God knows and He knows how to answer. Hannah was deeply hurt and she cried but God came through. she a vow to God which she kept and God honored that. Let us be like Hannah and follow through on what we promise God. He will come through and He knows our every thought, emotion and every burden. In His Love Leslene
