About this listen

 In this episode of Bible Bytes, I reflect on Hannah’s journey from anguish to adoration and explore her prayer in 1 Samuel 2:1–10. We consider how her song reveals God’s holiness, justice, and mercy, and how the Lord reverses human circumstances—lifting the humble and humbling the proud. I highlight timeless lessons on persistent prayer, trusting God’s sovereignty in seasons of waiting, and responding with worship before outcomes are resolved. Together, we’re invited to examine our posture in the waiting, cultivate endurance, and recognize God’s faithful work in every season. I also connect Hannah’s prophetic praise to the broader redemptive story pointing forward to Israel’s king and ultimately to Christ. As we internalize these truths, we’re encouraged to practice steadfast devotion, rejoice in God’s character, and embrace waiting as a place where faith is forged and hearts are shaped for worship. Stay tuned as we preview our next series on Esther and the courage to act “for such a time as this.”
