The God Who Hears and Saves

Hannah’s desperate prayer, the birth and dedication of Samuel, and her song of praise reveal the God who hears his people. The Lord turns Hannah’s sorrow into joy, not only for her good but to advance his great redemptive purposes. In her response, Hannah rejoices in the God who brings down the proud, strengthens the weak, and saves his people. Her praise points us beyond Samuel to the coming King, God’s Anointed One, Jesus Christ, who accomplishes the salvation of his people.
