Day 78 | 1 Samuel 1–3 — She Talked to God and He Listened — Hannah’s Prayer and Samuel’s Calling | Bible in a Year

She gives her son right back to the One who gave him. Down the hall, a priest who can't discipline his own sons will lose everything he tried to protect by staying quiet.Here we consider prayer, sacrifice, favoritism, corrupted leadership, and a God who remembers.
