Today's Scripture The Eternal One showed his favor toward Hannah again, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and her son Samuel grew up in the presence of the Eternal One. 1 Samuel 2:21, VOICE

Today's Word Hannah had been married for many years but remained barren. She came to a place of deep distress and cried out to God. In response to Hannah's passionate prayers, the Lord gave her a baby boy named Samuel whom she dedicated to the service of the house of God. That could have been a wonderful end to the story, but God likes to exceed our expectations. She asked for one son, but look at God's goodness. He said, in effect, "Hannah, you're satisfied, but I'm not. I'm going to show you My favor again and again and bring you more children than you ever imagined." What you're believing for may not have happened yet. It may be taking a long time, it may be discouraging, but as with Hannah, God is faithful. He's not only still going to bring it to pass—that would be good enough—but God is going to do more than you asked. He's going to visit you again and again with His favor. He's going to show out in another way. You've had your Samuel, but it's just the start.
