Journey of Faith

[1 Samuel 1] Hannah made a vow to the Lord and she kept it. How many times to we make small promises to God in a moment of need, then fail to follow through? Yet Hannah's promise was far from small. See, she was barren and she yearned for a son. So she promised God that if He gave her a son, she would give him back to God. She promised the Lord her son.
