A lesson from Hannah who was suffering because of being barren and being provoked, irritated and ridiculed by the other wife of her husband who had the blessing of children. I don’t see her having a cat fight with the woman who had the blessing she wanted so much, but I do see her going to church to take her problem to the only One who could help her. While praying she is now misunderstood by the Pastor. He accused her of being a drunk as her lips were moving but no voice could be heard. Even in her pain she addresses Eli, the Priest as Lord. This woman had every reason to react in a negative way. She was barren, sharing her husband with another woman and misunderstood by the Pastor, yet she maintained her innocence, integrity and godly character. While we are feeling barrenness in some situations; being made fun of for our decisions, falsely accused and misunderstood, let us during these challenging times maintain our innocence, integrity and godly character. Love and Honor one another!!!
