您教導我們跌倒，能使我們更加堅強！
謝謝您偉大的母親，
祝所有的母親，母親節快樂！
母親是上帝賜給孩子跟先生最美好的禮物。很高興我們看到今天許多的母親在教會當中被尊榮。母親是一項艱鉅的任務，許多的夜晚無法入眠，許多原本不用操心事，結果都成為母親的麻煩，母親對孩子們的付出孩子們不知道，等到他們真的知道了，母親也老了，母親是最偉大的，謝謝您們偉大的母親。
從前，有兩個孩子跟爸爸在討論母親節要送媽媽什麼禮物，哥哥就說：「今年的紅包錢不夠，我們送一個跟以前不一樣的禮物，每年都送香水，我想她應該希望可以拿到別的禮物，今年我們送她一張卡片，在上面我們跟媽媽說我們以後要做一個乖孩子再不給媽媽惹麻煩了，這樣好不好？」
The older boy says, “Instead of just another bottle of perfume fro mom on Mother’s Day, we’re giving her a promissory note stating that we will never cause another problem, fght or get in trouble ever again.” The Dad replies “You really expect to keep those promises?” Then the younger son realizing the impossibility of that responds, “Could I borrow money for a bottle of perfume?”
爸爸說：「兒子，你真的打算給媽媽這樣的承諾嗎？」
we’re giving her a promissory note stating that we will never cause another problem, fght or get in trouble ever again.” The Dad replies “You really expect to keep those promises?” Then the younger son realizing the impossibility of that responds, “Could I borrow money for a bottle of perfume?”
弟弟不知道哥哥所說的到底是什麼意義，但是當他知道哥哥所說的不惹麻煩是是很難辦到的一件事以後，弟弟跟爸爸說：「爸爸，我可不可以跟你借錢，我想我們還是買瓶一香水送給媽媽好了！」
對於小孩子來說，不給媽媽惹麻煩是不可能的事情，因為媽媽總是關心孩子的需要，媽媽的眼目永遠是在孩子的身上，所以母親可以看出孩子的問題，上帝設計母親的時候就已經給了他們一個關懷與愛的心靈。
雖然上帝創造母親有著一顆關愛的心靈，但是媽媽的工作卻是最全世界困難的，不過如果要成為一個敬虔愛上帝的母親那會是更加困難卻又值得的一項挑戰，今天早上我們尊榮偉大的母親，我們也要一起來看聖經中一位模範母親，讓我們來向她學習如何成為一個敬虔的母親！

以法蓮山地的拉瑪•瑣非有一個以法蓮人，名叫以利加拿，是蘇弗的玄孫，託戶的曾孫，以利戶的孫子，耶羅罕的兒子。
他有兩個妻：一名哈拿，一名毗尼拿。毗尼拿有兒女，哈拿沒有兒女。
事實上，今天的信息不只為母親而已，今天的信息是為了所有人預備的，哈拿所遭遇到的，我們也都會遭遇到，所以哈拿得勝的經歷，也可以成為我們的得勝經歷，我們每一個人都可以成為榮耀神並且敬虔愛主的人！

事實上，今天的信息不是只為母親而已，今天的信息是為了所有人而預備的，哈拿所遭遇到的，我們也都會遭遇到，所以哈拿得勝的經歷，也可以成為我們的得勝經歷，我們每一個人都可以成為榮耀神並且敬虔愛主的人！
第一點，我們從今天的經文當中可以看到，
Slide Actually while I am applying this to moms for Mother’s Day, this is something that will be applicable to each one of us here, mother or father, single or married, male or female, because ultimately this is about how we can be godly people.
一﹑敬虔的母親遭遇困難
一﹑敬虔的母親遭遇困難
在今天的聖經當中，我們看到有一位女子她的名字叫做哈拿，聖經告訴我們他雖然是以利加拿的妻子，但是她沒有兒女！這是哈拿的人生當中最大的問題，我姐姐跟姊夫結婚大概三年，都沒有生孩子！那時候姐姐也很擔心，我想她的心情跟哈拿類似！人們會認為，無法生育是一種不受祝福的恥辱，他們會想，一定是有問題才生不出孩子！如果所有的問題都探討過，也都做過努力，但是還是沒有辦法懷孕，那麼一定是他們犯了什麼罪，不蒙神祝福！
不過事實上並不是這樣，哈拿就沒有犯什麼罪！聖經告訴我們哈拿不能生育是因為神使她不能生育。基督徒信耶穌以後不一定都會順利，但是耶穌卻承諾我們他會給我們一顆平安的心！
基督徒信耶穌以後不一定都會順利，但是耶穌卻承諾我們他會給我們平安的心！
我將這些事告訴你們，是要叫你們在我裏面有平安。在世上，你們有苦難；但你們可以放心，我已經勝了世界。」
聖經上說我們人活在這個世界上，就是會遇見苦難！
不但如此，凡立志在基督耶穌裏敬虔度日的也都要受逼迫。
rmonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p2 take heart! I have overcome the world." And Paul echoes this in 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, Throughout the Bible we see people who are striving to live for God who are facing problems Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Esther, and here we see Hannah We see in these verses that Hannah’s husband Elkanah had 2 wives and his other wife had children. Verse 2 tells us that “Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.” Now this is in an age when one of the main purposes of having a wife was to provide children. And not only was she not able to have children, but she faced ridicule for this year after year. And because the LORD had closed her womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her. 7 This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat. “Hi Hannah, could you help me with my children, I have so many.” Hi Hannah, would you mind helping me change a diaper, oh do you know how to change a diaper, since you have never had any kids?” And this went on year after year. Hannah I am sure felt feelings of inadequacy. She suffered bouts of depression Lord, what are you doing here What was her purpose in life? I am certain there are women here (scratch that, people here) today, who feel inadequate, or are depressed, or don’t understand yet why the Lord has them in the situation they are in. Maybe there are some here today who haven’t been able to have children or who have lost a child or who are struggling to provide for their family SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p3 Maybe you are facing problems and thinking, I must not be a good or godly person in the eyes of God since this is happening to me. I want to tell you that this message is for you today. To be a Godly Mom or a Godly person does not mean that you are not going to have problems. You are going to have to face problems. But you need to know that you don’t have to face them alone and just because you face problems does not mean that you are not loved by the Lord. But what to do in those moments? Let’s see what Hannah did. Once when they had fnished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple. 10 In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the LORD. 11 And she made a vow, saying, "O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head." 12 As she kept on praying to the LORD, Eli observed her mouth. 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk 14 and said to her, "How long will you keep on getting drunk? Get rid of your wine." 15 "Not so, my lord," Hannah replied, "I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the LORD. 16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief." Here we see that A Godly Mom Prays Slide Hannah was pouring out her soul to the Lord. She had some real problems that were causing her pain and anguish, but instead of giving up, she looked up. She looked up to God in prayer. Often, it is not until we are facing problems that we turn to the Lord. So often, we try to handle things ourselves. Diffcult circumstances in our life teach us to persevere and they help us to mature and rely upon God. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must fnish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p4 When we don’t mature in Christ, when we aren’t continually counting on Him, we will be lacking in the relationship with Christ that is essential to truly living. When Paul had his thorn in his fesh, God would not take it away because it was there to help Paul continue to rely on Him. We can count on the grace of God to strengthen us and get us through. Jesus told Paul in "My grace is suffcient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Christ’s power in our lives is made perfect in our weaknesses. It is not until we face problems that our weakness is exposed In areas where our weakness is exposed, we often have no choice but to turn to Christ. That is where Hannah is. She is at the end of herself. She cries out to God in her weakness. Some of you here today may be suffering through different issues. Go to God with your problems Pray that through whatever you are experiencing that God will grow you. And pray for God to change things. He can and He does. Hannah did not turn away from God in her problems, but she turned to God with her problems. Be a Godly Mom and express what you are feeling to God in prayer. Be an example to your children. Being in relationship with God does not mean putting on a show that everything is ok when it is not. Being in relationship with God means being real in expressing how you are truly feeling to God and asking for His help in dealing with it. That is what Hannah did. That is what you should do. We need to be praying in everything. Transition Let’s continue and see what else we can learn from Hannah - 17 Eli answered, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him." 18 She said, "May your servant fnd favor in your eyes." Then she went her way and ate something, and her SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p5 face was no longer downcast. 19 Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her. 20 So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the LORD for him." The third thing we see here is that A Godly Mom trusts God’s Provision Slide Now, yes God did bless Hannah and provide a child for her. And yes God does change our circumstances sometimes as part of His provision. But sometimes He doesn’t change our circumstances, but He still provides for us. Remember what we just read regarding Paul’s thorn in his fesh. "My grace is suffcient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." God did not take away the circumstance of Paul, but He provided for Him through His grace. Now look at verse 18 in . Before she became pregnant, before she even could have been pregnant, God provided peace for Hannah. - “she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.” As we trust in Jesus for salvation and grow in that relationship and pour out our hearts to the Lord in anguish, God cares for us and provides for us through the peace that only He can provide. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. God’s provision does not necessarily change out circumstances, although we certainly can ask for that. But God’s provision does change us. We still may not understand everything, but we don’t need to. Instead, we know everything that we need to know, that God cares for us and He is working out His will in our life and that is the best place to be. The peace of God, which transcends all understanding. What an incredible God that we have who provides for us so abundantly. Paul learned this. SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p6 I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Now beyond that, we recognize that God has a desire to bless us as well. 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! We can trust Him to provide what we want when it will be benefcial to us and glorify Him and we can trust Him to provide peace for us always, even when our circumstance doesn’t change, but instead, He changes us. God is good all the time and we can trust Him to provide exactly what is best. Being a Godly Mom means trusting in God’s provision. Transition Let’s continue reading and see what else we can learn. When the man Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifce to the LORD and to fulfll his vow, 22 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, "After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always." 23 "Do what seems best to you," Elkanah her husband told her. "Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD make good his word." So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him. 24 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of four and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh. 25 When they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli, 26 and she said to him, "As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. 27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. 28 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD there. Another thing we learn is A Godly Mom keeps Promises Slide 6 Remember back in v. 11 she made a vow saying that if she had a son she would “give him to the LORD for all the days of his life" Hannah kept her promise that she made to the Lord. Now imagine for a moment. You have been unable to have any children for your whole life. Now you have your frst child and you give him over to the Lord completely for His service. SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p7 That must have been extremely hard for her yet she knew that the Lord wanted him. We glorify the Lord when we keep our word, even when it hurts , LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He… 4 who keeps his oath even when it hurts, The goal of every mother here should be to raise your children to trust in the Lord and serve Him even if it requires sacrifce for you. Now it does not necessarily have to be in what we call full-time Christian ministry, but in whatever we do we need to be serving the Lord, whether it is at our workplace or in our neighborhoods or in our homes, we need to be teaching our kids to serve and walk in the ways of the Lord. This is the ultimate goal of parenting. Hannah did the thing that would be best for her son in the long run even though it was painful for her in the short run. Godly moms are women of their word. Finally, when we are living godly lives, even as we experience problems and we pray and we have received the Lord’s provision, and kept our promises, we fnd that A Godly Mom Praises the Lord Slide 7 Then Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. 2 "There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. Hannah praises the Lord, because she knew that God had blessed her and that Samuel was blessed of the Lord she knew he was completely in God’s hands The hands of the One SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p8 That she could completely trust that had drawn her close that heard her in her distress that provided for her and that had blessed her. This was the God she could trust with her most valuable earthly possessions, even her son. This is also the God you can trust. This is the God who wants to draw you close And listen to you in your distress And give you peace And bless you. Moms, no matter what circumstance you are facing today, you don’t have to face it alone. Being a mom is a tough job and He has designed you to be able to accomplish it with the help of a loving God. My question for you is have you been seeking His help and His provision To seek his help and provision, you need to be in a relationship with Him. Are you in a relationship with the one who can provide what you need? You need Jesus Christ. You need him to pray to to provide for you to praise, But mostly to provide salvation for you. If you would like to enter into a relationship with Jesus we will have people up front available to pray with you this morning or for any need you may have. The simple fact is, is that Jesus is the only one we can turn to. He is more than enough for every need we have. We are going to close this morning by worshiping Jesus Christ as the one who truly is able to provide for us because He cares for us enough to sacrifce His own life

更準確的說，每一個想要敬虔愛主的弟兄姊妹，都有可能會遇見苦難，聖經上的例子比比皆是，約瑟、摩西、大衛、以賽亞，耶利米...。今天我們看到哈拿也有同樣的遭遇，聖經告訴我們，哈拿的先生以利加拿有兩個太太，毗尼拿有兒女，而哈拿沒有，她不僅僅沒有孩子，還會被毗尼拿冷嘲熱諷！
毗尼拿見耶和華不使哈拿生育，就作她的對頭，大大激動她，要使她生氣。每年上到耶和華殿的時候，以利加拿都以雙分給哈拿；毗尼拿仍是激動她，以致她哭泣不吃飯。
1 S
毗尼拿可能會說：「哈拿，快來幫我看孩子，我孩子太多了！」，還是說：「哈拿，可以幫忙換一下尿片嗎？歐，對了，你可能不知道怎麼換吧！你又沒有生過孩子！」這樣的諷刺每天、每月、每年持續的發生，哈拿心裡一定非常難過，她會覺得自己是一個不適任的妻子，什麼都不行，連生個孩子都不能，哈拿會想自己人生的目的到底是什麼？
毗尼拿可能會說：「哈拿，快來幫我看孩子，我孩子太多了！」「哈拿，可以幫忙換一下尿片嗎？不過你可能不知道怎麼換吧！你又沒有生過小孩！」這樣的諷刺每天每月每年持續的發生，哈拿心裡一定非常難過，她會覺得自己是一個不適任的妻子，什麼都不行，連生個孩子都不能，哈拿會想自己人生的目的到底在哪裡？
我相信我們也可能有類似的心情，不管你是不是母親，你可能會覺得自己不適任，或是做不到你想要做的事，你可能也會像哈拿一樣懷疑自己到底生在這個世界上為的是什麼？
或許我們的孩子長大了，離開我們了，或許我們每天為著三餐努力的工作，又或許我們遇見困難和苦難，我們心裡會想，我是不是做得不好，做得不對，以致於上帝不喜歡我，所以我才會遇見這樣的事情！如果你有這樣的想法，你與哈拿有類似的遭遇，而今天的信息正是神要對你說的話！
am certain there are women here (scratch that, people here) today, who feel inadequate, or are depressed, or don’t understand yet why the Lord has them in the situation they are in. Maybe there are some here today who haven’t been able to have children or who have lost a child or who are struggling to provide for their family Maybe you are facing problems and thinking, I must not be a good or godly person in the eyes of God since this is happening to me. I want to tell you that this message is for you today.
身為基督徒，並不代表我們不會遇見困難，人生在世困難與苦難是無法避免的，但是要知道：「你並不需要一個人單獨地面對這些！遇見苦難並不代表上帝不愛你，重要的是我們需要思考的是在這樣的困難當中我們應該如何去面對？讓我們看看哈拿是怎麼做的！
他們在示羅吃喝完了，哈拿就站起來。祭司以利在耶和華殿的門框旁邊，坐在自己的位上。哈拿心裏愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，祈禱耶和華，許願說：「萬軍之耶和華啊，你若垂顧婢女的苦情，眷念不忘婢女，賜我一個兒子，我必使他終身歸與耶和華，不用剃頭刀剃他的頭。」
哈拿在耶和華面前不住地祈禱，以利定睛看她的嘴。（原來哈拿心中默禱，只動嘴唇，不出聲音，因此以利以為她喝醉了。）以利對她說：「你要醉到幾時呢？你不應該喝酒。」哈拿回答說：「主啊，不是這樣。我是心裏愁苦的婦人，清酒濃酒都沒有喝，但在耶和華面前傾心吐意。不要將婢女看作不正經的女子。我因被人激動，愁苦太多，所以祈求到如今。」
1 S
聖經說：「哈拿心裡愁苦，就痛痛哭泣，然後怎麼樣？
她就向上帝禱告！
在這裡，聖經教導我們面對苦難的第一個功課就是禱告！
二、敬虔的母親向神禱告
二、敬虔的母親向神禱告
Slide
Here we see that A Godly Mom Prays Slide Hannah was pouring out her soul to the Lord. She had some real problems that were causing her pain and anguish, but instead of giving up, she looked up. She looked up to God in prayer. Often, it is not until we are facing problems that we turn to the Lord. So often, we try to handle things ourselves. Difficult circumstances in our life teach us to persevere and they help us to mature and rely upon God.
哈拿在神面前是一邊哭一邊禱告，她受到許多的委屈，嘲笑，這些事讓她痛苦，心中非常難過，難過到連飯都吃不下，但是她並沒有自我放棄，也沒有關起門來不跟人來往，而是來到神面前，向神禱告。
許多時候我們遇見困難的時候，我們不會像哈拿一樣來向神禱告，我們會用自己的方法去解決，直到所有的方法都用盡了，我們才想到去找上帝，但是我們需要知道的是，上帝給我們困難的情況；他的目的是為了要教導我們學習倚靠神。
我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂；因為知道你們的信心經過試驗，就生忍耐。但忍耐也當成功，使你們成全、完備，毫無缺欠。
Jam 1
當我們還沒有成全完備以前，我們並不會依靠神，我們與神的關係是欠缺的；可是，我們與神的關係卻是我們生命當中最關鍵的一件事，所以許多時候神將我們放在困難當中是為了要教導我們學習依靠神！
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
上帝將一根刺放在保羅的身上，讓他經歷苦難，保羅幾次禱告求神為他除去這樣的痛苦，但是上帝並沒有答應他，因為上帝要保羅學習依靠神的功課，上帝跟保羅說：「我的恩典是夠你用的！」我們一起來讀這段經文：
When we don’t mature in Christ, when we aren’t continually counting on Him, we will be lacking in the relationship with Christ that is essential to truly living. When Paul had his thorn in his fresh, God would not take it away because it was there to help Paul continue to rely on Him. We can count on the grace of God to strengthen us and get us through. Jesus told Paul in
他對我說：「我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。
耶穌的能力可以幫助我們在我們的軟弱的當中使我們完全，但是我們怎麼知道我們的軟弱是什麼呢？我們若不知道我們的軟弱是什麼，我們就不知道在我們軟弱上依靠神！而苦難是最好的機會讓我們看見我們的軟弱是什麼？
Christ’s power in our lives is made perfect in our weaknesses. It is not until we face problems that our weakness is exposed In areas where our weakness is exposed, we often have no choice but to turn to Christ.
弟兄姊妹，當我們知道自己的軟弱是什麼以後，我們該怎麼做？我們要依靠耶穌的能力來使我們的生命完全！
弟兄姊妹，當我們知道自己的軟弱是什麼以後，我們該怎麼做？我們要依靠耶穌的能力來使我們的生命完全！
B＋S 阿們嗎？
同樣的，哈拿也是這樣，哈拿經歷了苦難也看到了自己的軟弱（沒有孩子），這時候她向神呼求，求神幫助！在坐的我們當中，或許我們也會經歷各樣的困難，讓我們學習哈拿的榜樣，我們要回到神面前，向神禱告，將你的困難﹑你所經歷的困苦向神禱告，上帝可以幫助你，給你力量讓你可以得著完全！你也可以求神為你改變情況，因為在人不能，在神凡事都能！
哈拿並沒有轉離神，而是轉向神，作為一個敬虔的人，我們在我們的困難當中要轉向神！當我們願意在困難當中轉向神，依靠神的時候，我們的經歷也可以成為我們家人的好榜樣。
哈拿也是同樣的情況，哈拿經歷了苦難也看到了自己的軟弱，這時候他向神呼求，求神幫助她！在座的我們當中，或許我們也經歷各樣的困難苦難，讓我們學習哈拿的榜樣，我們要回到神面前，向祂禱告，將你的困難﹑你所經歷的苦難向上帝禱告，上帝可以幫助你，給你力量讓你可以得著完全！你也可以求神為你改變情況，在人不能，在神凡事都能！哈拿並沒有離開神，而是在苦難當中轉向神，作為一個敬虔的母親，我們在我們的困難當中要轉向神！當我們這樣做時，我們也可以向孩向家人子作見證。與神建立並不是為了讓別人看見，好像要告訴大家我都沒問題，可是事實上卻是不然，與神建立關係指的是在神面前真實地表達你的感受，並求神幫助你解決這個困難。這是就是哈拿所做的事，這也是我們應該做的。我們需要在凡事上向神禱告，
父親—>大姊！
不過投靠神，並與神建立關係並不是為了給別人看的；與神建立關係指的是在神面前真實地表達自己的感受，求神幫助解決這個困難。這是就是哈拿所做的事，這也是我們應該做的。在困難當中我們需要向神禱告！
阿們嗎？
Neb: 在困難當中我們需要向神禱告！
轉換
接下來讓我們看還有什麼事是值得我們向哈拿學習的.
我們先來讀這段聖經
以利說：「你可以平平安安地回去。願以色列的上帝允准你向他所求的！」哈拿說：「願婢女在你眼前蒙恩。」於是婦人走去吃飯，面上再不帶愁容了。
次日清早，他們起來，在耶和華面前敬拜，就回拉瑪。到了家裏，以利加拿和妻哈拿同房，耶和華顧念哈拿，哈拿就懷孕。日期滿足，生了一個兒子，給他起名叫撒母耳，說：「這是我從耶和華那裏求來的。」

did. That is what you should do. We need to be praying in everything. Transition Let’s continue and see what else we can learn from Hannah

聖經告訴我們上帝果真聽了哈拿的禱告，給了她一個孩子，是的有時候上帝會為我們改變環境來幫助我們，但是有時候祂並沒有改變困難的環境， 不過上帝仍然會幫助我們。就像我們剛剛所讀的聖經上面所說的

2 CRemember what we just read regarding Paul’s thorn in his fresh.
神並沒有改變保羅所處的環境，但是上帝的大能會幫助保羅，上帝說我的恩典是夠你用的。
"My grace is suffcient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." God did not take away the circumstance of Paul, but He provided for Him through His grace. Now look at verse 18 in
哈拿也是一樣的，我們來看這段經文
1
哈拿說：「願婢女在你眼前蒙恩。」於是婦人走去吃飯，面上再不帶愁容了。
當以利代表上帝答應哈拿的祈禱時，哈拿還沒有懷孕，她的環境並沒有改變，但是哈拿對上帝有沒有信心？有
當以利代表上帝答應哈拿的祈禱時，哈拿還沒有懷孕，她的環境並沒有改變，但是哈拿對上帝有沒有信心？有，我們為什麼這麼說呢？
哈拿說：「願婢女在你眼前蒙恩。」於是婦人走去吃飯，面上再不帶愁容了。
. Before she became pregnant, before she even could have been pregnant, God provided peace for Hannah.
面上不再待愁容了！
哈拿的信心在她的行為上看得很實際！女生通常想得比較多一些！所以要哈拿不表現出憂愁，只有一個方法，那就是完全信靠上帝，相信他會帶領，相信他會幫助！
當我們信耶穌並且跟耶穌的關係越來越進步時，我們要學習在許多事上向神禱告時，上帝會賜給我們一顆超乎想像的平安的心！
應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求，和感謝，將你們所要的告訴上帝。
PAs we trust in Jesus for salvation and grow in that relationship and pour out our hearts to the Lord in anguish, God cares for us and provides for us through the peace that only He can provide.
上帝所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裏保守你們的心懷意念。
PhilAs we trust in Jesus for salvation and grow in that relationship and pour out our hearts to the Lord in anguish, God cares for us and provides for us through the peace that only He can provide.
為什麼平安的心那麼重要！
心不難，事就不難！
上帝會幫助我們，但是他幫助我們的方法，不一定是改變我們所面對的難題，當然我們也可以這樣禱告，但是上帝幫助我們主要的目的還不在於改變環境，最主要的上帝是為了要改變我們這個人！
As we trust in Jesus for salvation and grow in that relationship and pour out our hearts to the Lord in anguish, God cares for us and provides for us through the peace that only He can provide.
有些事情我們不明白，或許我們也無法明白；不過最重要的是上帝要我們知道的是他關心我們的，他要在我們的生命當中做他的工作，對我們來說這才是最重要的。上帝會將超過我們所能想像的的平安放在我們的心裡，這平安能夠成為我們生命的一部份，也能夠幫助我們渡過一切的風浪！保羅後來學習到這寶貴的功課，他說：「
我並不是因缺乏說這話；我無論在甚麼景況都可以知足，這是我已經學會了。我知道怎樣處卑賤，也知道怎樣處豐富；或飽足，或飢餓；或有餘，或缺乏，隨事隨在，我都得了秘訣。我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。

我們不僅僅可以有像保羅一樣的信心！
我們更要知道上帝很喜歡祝福我們的人生！
你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女，何況你們在天上的父，豈不更把好東西給求他的人嗎？
你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女，何況你們在天上的父，豈不更把好東西給求他的人嗎？
我們可以相信上帝，如果這個情況對我們是好的，上帝一定不會吝嗇不給我們，甚至我們在困難的環境當中，而且這樣的的情況也一直沒有改變，我們也要相信上帝這樣的安排對我們是最好的，因為上帝會把最好的給我們！
Now beyond that, we recognize that God has a desire to bless us as well.
I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Now beyond that, we recognize that God has a desire to bless us as well. 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! We can trust Him to provide what we want when it will be benefcial to us and glorify Him and we can trust Him to provide peace for us always, even when our circumstance doesn’t change, but instead, He changes us. God is good all the time and we can trust Him to provide exactly what is best. Being a Godly Mom means trusting in God’s provision.
他的大能會幫助我們走過一切的難關，因為他的恩典是夠我們用的！作為一個敬虔愛主的母親，你必須要相信上帝所給你的是最好的！
11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
We can trust Him to provide what we want when it will be benefcial to us and glorify Him and we can trust Him to provide peace for us always, even when our circumstance doesn’t change, but instead, He changes us.

以利加拿和他全家都上示羅去，要向耶和華獻年祭，並還所許的願。哈拿卻沒有上去，對丈夫說：「等孩子斷了奶，我便帶他上去朝見耶和華，使他永遠住在那裏。」她丈夫以利加拿說：「就隨你的意行吧！可以等兒子斷了奶。但願耶和華應驗他的話。」於是婦人在家裏乳養兒子，直到斷了奶；既斷了奶，就把孩子帶上示羅，到了耶和華的殿；又帶了三隻公牛，一伊法細麵，一皮袋酒。（那時，孩子還小。）宰了一隻公牛，就領孩子到以利面前。婦人說：「主啊，我敢在你面前起誓，從前在你這裏站著祈求耶和華的那婦人，就是我。我祈求為要得這孩子；耶和華已將我所求的賜給我了。所以，我將這孩子歸與耶和華，使他終身歸與耶和華。」
於是在那裏敬拜耶和華。

四、敬虔的母親信守對神的承諾
四、敬虔的母親信守對神的承諾
記得之前我們看到哈拿在禱告中向神起誓說：『你若給我一個兒子，我必使他終生歸與耶和華』，哈拿信守她的承諾。我們站在哈拿的地位想想看，她可能已經四十多歲了，到了四十歲還沒有兒女，這是很不容易的一件事，現在總算上帝賜給她一個兒子，這麼可愛，聰明，活潑，又討人喜歡，如果你是哈拿，你願意將這個孩子獻給上帝，讓他一輩子都在聖殿裡工作嗎？
這件事對於哈拿來說一定是一件非常困難的事，但是哈拿信守她對上帝的承諾，她用這樣的方法來榮耀神！
人若向耶和華許願或起誓，要約束自己，就不可食言，必要按口中所出的一切話行。
And he worshiped the LORD there. Another thing we learn is A Godly Mom keeps Promises Slide 6 Remember back in v. 11 she made a vow saying that if she had a son she would “give him to the LORD for all the days of his life" Hannah kept her promise that she made to the Lord. Now imagine for a moment. You have been unable to have any children for your whole life. Now you have your frst child and you give him over to the Lord completely for His service.
Hannah kept her promise that she made to the Lord. Now imagine for a moment. You have been unable to have any children for your whole life. Now you have your frst child and you give him over to the Lord completely for His service.

耶和華啊，誰能寄居你的帳幕？
誰能住在你的聖山？
,
他眼中藐視匪類，
卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人。
他發了誓，雖然自己吃虧也不更改。
雖然我們不是活在律法以下，但是從這節經文來看，向神信守諾言卻是討神喜悅的事！
因此，我們雖然不是哈拿，我們也不一定在主面前發了誓言，不過我們不能像一般人一樣說信仰是個人的選擇，為了愛神愛人，每一個敬虔愛主的母親都應該教導兒女，讓他們兒女認識耶穌，甚至像撒母耳一樣，來服事主，即便這樣做是必須有所犧牲的，但是是值得的。
The goal of every mother here should be to raise your children to trust in the Lord and serve Him even if it requires sacrifce for you. Now it does not necessarily have to be in what we call full-time Christian ministry, but in whatever we do we need to be serving the Lord, whether it is at our workplace or in our neighborhoods or in our homes, we need to be teaching our kids to serve and walk in the ways of the Lord. This is the ultimate goal of parenting. Hannah did the thing that would be best for her son in the long run even though it was painful for her in the short run. Godly moms are women of their word. Finally, when we are living godly lives, even as we experience problems and we pray and we have received the Lord’s provision, and kept our promises, we fnd that A Godly Mom Praises the Lord Slide 7
雖然不是每一個人都要去當牧師，當傳道人，但是我們做的每一件事都應該是為了服事神，不論是在我們的工作職場，我們的鄰居朋友當中，我們需要教導兒女相信神並且服事神。這是養育兒女的最終目標，哈拿為他的孩子做了一件最好的選擇，雖然這件事對哈拿來說是是痛苦的，但是這個苦是短暫的！
敬虔的母親要禱告上帝，敬虔的母親要信靠上帝，
相信上帝會供應最好的給我們，並且敬虔的母親也信守在上帝面前的承諾，接下來，我們要看到敬虔的母親會讚美上帝！
五、敬虔的母親讚美上帝
五、敬虔的母親讚美上帝
哈拿禱告說：
我的心因耶和華快樂；
我的角因耶和華高舉。
我的口向仇敵張開；
我因耶和華的救恩歡欣。
只有耶和華為聖；
除他以外沒有可比的，
也沒有磐石像我們的上帝。

哈拿讚美上帝因為他知道上帝祝福了她，上帝將撒母耳賜給她，使她不再羞恥，痛苦，經由撒母耳，哈拿知道上帝是愛他的，並且在他所需要的事上供應她，所以她完全相信上帝，而且口中讚美上帝！
Then Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. 2 "There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
哈拿讚美上帝因為他知道上帝祝福了她，上帝將撒母耳賜給她，使她不再羞恥，痛苦，經由撒母耳，哈拿知道上帝是愛他的，並且在他所需要的事上供應她，所以她完全相信上帝，而且口中讚美上帝！
哈拿因為相信上帝，所以她將自己最寶貴的交給上帝，她用這樣的方法來榮耀神，向世界上所有的人見證說：「上帝是配得我們讚美與敬拜的！」

問題是你願意求上帝幫助你嗎？你需要跟上帝建立關係嗎？這位上帝能夠供應你所需要的一切，你需要耶穌！更重要的是，你需要耶穌拯救你，如果你希望跟耶穌建立好的關係，你可以藉由禱告來向神承認你的罪，求他的赦免，讓你可以再次回到天父的懷抱裡，成為他所愛的兒女！
