Volume 13, Issue 26: Necessary Arrangements

When we pour out our hearts to God in accordance to his will, he makes the necessary arrangements to engineer answers to our requests. God makes arrangements to make a way for us. To give us a good outcome.

When we reach out to him to act on our behalf, God begins to make the necessary arrangements to bring to pass our requests. In many instances, the things we want to happen or to turn out a certain way are out of our control. But nothing is out of God's control.

At the beginning of the first chapter of the book of 1st Samuel, Hannah was sad and dejected. The story changed when she pulled herself together and went to pray. Crushed in soul, Hannah prayed to God and cried inconsolably, telling God exactly how she felt and what she wanted. Then she went away and ate heartily, her face radiant.

When Hannah's family returned home, the Bible records that Elkanah slept with his wife Hannah, and God began making the necessary arrangements in response to what she had asked. And before the year was out, Hannah had conceived and given birth to a son. How about that?

“Up before dawn, they worshiped God and returned home to Ramah. Elkanah slept with Hannah his wife, and God began making the necessary arrangements in response to what she had asked. Before the year was out, Hannah had conceived and given birth to a son. She named him Samuel, explaining, “I asked God for him.”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭1:19-20‬ ‭MSG‬‬.

For His Glory,
