The Word of the Lord was rare.
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
Relativism was the moral norm.
In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to advice.
Tola and Jair were judges around the time of Samuel’s birth.
After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he lived at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim. And he judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried at Shamir.
After him arose Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.

Hannah’s Story
Hannah’s Story
Every year, Elkanah and his whole household went to Shiloh to worship and sacrifice to the Lord.
The Peace Offerings were the only offerings in which the offerer received back a portion of the offering.
The Peace Offering culminated in a communal meal which was eaten by the offerer, his family and those in attendance with him.
There were three types of Peace Offerings: the Thank Offering, Vow Offering, Freewill Offering.
Thank Offering: offered due to a blessing from the Lord.
Vow Offering: offered due to God honoring a vow made.
Freewill Offering: offered freely for no particular reason.
It was from the Peace Offering that Hannah received a double portion.
Peninnah harassed Hannah over her barrenness to where she was so distraught she was unable to partake in the communal meal.
Hannah’s barrenness wasn’t a sin, but rather a perceived social flaw.

The devil will continually harass you about a sin or perceived social flaw if it will keep you away from the Lord’s presence.
Hannah’s Victory
Hannah’s Victory
Hannah was victorious due to her diligence in prayer.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
As believer’s, we have an advocate in the Lord.
He not only hears but answers our prayer as well.
The Lord will either grant our petition, table it, or deny it.
It is His choice alone as to how to answer our prayer.
He answers it according to divine will.
Our victory only comes through the Lord regardless of how He chooses to answer our prayers.
