"I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request. Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong to the Lord his whole life."
-1 Samuel 1.27-28 (NLT)
...
I read the verse above from Janie Myatt's FB page the other day -
I did ask God for a child and He did grant that request and He does belong to the Lord forever. I pray that I will give him to the Lord daily and not let resentment, anger, frustration mare his testimony and the work God wants to do through his life and our experience.
"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, may the name of the Lord be praised....in all this Job did not accuse the Lord of wrongdoing." I like that Job is not praising God for one thing or another, He is just praising God because He is God. In all circumstances, good or bad, our praise should go to the One who gave not the gift and in all circumstances we should give praise, for "how can we accept good from Him and not bad?" And though we should thank God for His gifts our praise should not only be centered around those but around who He is, that He is who He says He is.
