1 Samuel 1:19
-And the Lord Remembered Her-
And the Lord remembered her.
Such beautiful words.
Hannah prayed; she wept; she spoke
from the anguish of her heart.
And the Lord remembered her.
He turned her mourning into dancing
Because He who called her is
faithful.
The daughter who had no home—He
remembered her.
His word says that He puts the solitary
in families.
The daughter who could never cry—He
remembered her.
The tears now flow in pain and in
joy.
The daughter who was afraid to hope—He
remembered her.
She has begun a journey to see His
dreams become her own.
Such beautiful dreams they are.
She knows not where they will lead.
All she knows is that He remembers
her.
When she sucks her breath in for
fear of the unknown,
Her heart whispers that the Lord
remembers her.
“For I know the thoughts that I
think toward you,” He whispers,
“Thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope.
I am your Rock; your Stronghold;
your Deliverer. I will never forsake you.”
Is it not sacred that He remembers
her!
Through all of life—every step,
every tear, every laugh, every hope—
He remembers her.
He remembers me.
