The Loudest Voice Was Silent
By Mark Flippo
1 Samuel 1:13-17
Hannah was praying silently, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to her, “How long are you going to be drunk? Get rid of your wine! ” “No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman with a broken heart. I haven’t had any wine or beer; I’ve been pouring out my heart before the LORD. “Don’t think of me as a wicked woman; I’ve been praying from the depth of my anguish and resentment.” Eli responded, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant the request you’ve made of him.”
This just proves that you do not have to pray loudly for all to hear. When your prayer comes from the depths of your soul God hears! Eli misjudged her and thought she was drunk. Remember what He did to her. Others will not understand your pain. You may be judged wrongfully also. Keep your heart and mind set on your goal to be heard by Jesus Himself. You will prevail if your heart is right and it falls into God's plan for your life. Remember everything is always in His timing.
