Today as I was reading in 1 Samuel 1 I read about Hannah and how she prayed that God would give her a son. When she was done praying Eli the high priest told her that God was going to answer her prayer. Immediately she started to rejoice in the Lord and was no longer sad that she did not have a son. Hannah did not have to see her son in order to believe God and rejoice all she needed was a promise.
After reading this I thought about how often I rejoice in God and am happy just because of His promises. So much in my life my joy is based on what God does for me and not on who God is. The fact that God has promised that He will take care of me, Never leave me, and many more should be enough to cause me joy. But instead I become discouraged and worry when I don't know something or I don't feel God is with me.
Today though I am going to rejoice and praise God just because of who He is. I will trust His promises whether I see them or not
