I Sam. 2:2
There is none holy like the Lord; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.
Hannah delighted in God who had answered her prayer for a son. In her praise, she rejoiced in His sovereign power, His holiness, His strength (rock), His knowledge, and His justice (weighs the actions). She knew He was the One who gave and took life, who gave riches and reduced to poverty, and who exalted some and brought others low. What a depth of theology was in her prayer! How she understood the power of God! But the truly wonderful thing is that her theology went far beyond just knowledge. It came from her heart and from her life. What she had lived and endured shaped her beliefs and her praise. She was the faithful one whose feet had been guarded by God.
Father,
Teach me to know and understand Your sovereignty in my daily life. Open my eyes that I may see You clearly in all that You do.
In Jesus name,
Amen
