🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (7/2/26)[Prayer]





Personalities



1 Samuel 2:19-36

19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home.

21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.

22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress.

25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.

26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.

27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

34 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

Holy, Holy, Holy, are You!

According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance

Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

And Make All Things Right.

Okay, I admit it it, I was a bit obnoxious. But I was only Three and didn't know any better. There was Santa Claus, in full regalia and flowing white beard, at my Dad's Union's Christmas Party, with a microphone, onstage, singing "Jingle Bells". And Santa was singing it WRONG! He kept singing the Chorus over and over, and wasn't singing the "Dashing Through The Snow" parts. Just "Jingle Bells" over and over. HOW COULD SANTA CLAUS NOT KNOW THE VERSES, when I, a little girl, knew them? I held my tongue, thinking that if I insulted Santa Claus, onstage, in public, I wouldn't get any presents for Christmas. I might even get coal in my stocking, and I didn't even know what "coal" was! Finally, I could stand it no longer. I strode up to the stage, grabbed the microphone out of Santa's hands, and said:

"You're Doing It Wrong! It Goes Like This!"

The room sat in stunned silence as I sang the whole song, and then gave the mic back to Santa. I risked a reprimand, a tree bereft of presents, and coal in my stocking, but it had to be done!

Poor little Samuel! He was faced with a far more perplexing dilemma. He was totally subject to Eli, but he could see what was going on. Samuel was, in a sense, an apprentice to the Priesthood, and he was witnessing first hand the hypocrisy, greed, and lust, that were permitted by Eli's helplessness in the face of his sons. What was he to do? Was he going to squeal on his "brothers"? Did he have the right to reprimand Eli, his Master, on these matters? What would be the result of his reporting? Would he end up being the one punished or even ostracized from the Tabernacle?

Every year, Hannah made a new coat for Samuel, because he was growing up so fast. But, inside, in wisdom and discernment, Samuel was growing even faster.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Hallelujah and Amen

Brave? LOL.
“Obstreperous” is more accurate! 😇

But, yes, sometimes we are called upon to risk coal in our stocking for the sake of TRUTH. ✊!✊!✊1

Amen to your prayer and word. Childhood boldness is sometimes a very good thing, thru the mouth of babes.
