Give the best and what I love to the Lord

1 Samuel 1:19-28
Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her.  Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
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. So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 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.
When God gave Hannah the son she longed for he also gave Israel the last and greatest of the judges, and the first great prophet after Moses - the man who was to usher in the kings.
Why?
God remember Hannah prayer and her husband loves her so in the time gave birth to a son.
Hannah has a son and she has longed for many years but she remembers she has a vow before the Lord so she brought him before the Lord. And Samuel became the greatest judges.
Hannah knew a baby could not stay with Eli, so she takes him and presents before the Lord after the boy is weaned.
Serve the Lord not only need faith but need prepares the good condition.
How?
Serve the Lord is not in the mouth, but in action, Hannah did what she said and she is the mother of the greatest judge of  Israel. God continue to give grace to her. Give the best and what I love to the Lord.
