DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 19:8 to 20:42; Isaiah 60; Romans 5:12-21
They rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the
LORD, and returned…and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and
the LORD remembered her. 1 Samuel 1:19
Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his
words fall to the ground. 1 Samuel 3:19
Elkanah and Hannah rose early in the morning to worship the Lord.
God honoured them with a son they named Samuel. Dear Christian
parents, if we hope to raise children to follow and serve the Lord,
we must set the standard high. May we as parents, grandparents,
or great-grandparents, show our dear ones, by example, that we are
enjoying God and wish them to do the same. —Arnot McIntee
Happy the home where prayer is heard, and praise is wont to rise;
Where parents love the sacred Word, and all its wisdom prize.—Henry Ware
