Topic: I POURED OUT MY SOUL UNTO THE LORD Cont,
Sub Topic: WHY ME”
Text: Gen.25.22 – [Two] children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so [that the Lord has heard our prayer], why am I like this? And she went to inquire of the Lord.
Life situations so much push us to the point where we cry out why me. The battles without which is as a result of what we carry within bring us to that cross road where we are at a lose and don’t know what to do. Many go the way of suicide, many lose and give up on there love and relationships with God, many bow their knees to Baal. Thereby allowing there situation and people to mould them. But Hannah said to Eli I have poured out my soul unto the Lord.
Rebecca in our scripture for today asked, if God have answered my prayers why is this happening to me?
How many times have you found yourself asking same? If am a child of God why am I going through this? If God is alive or love me why am I going through such.
There is greatness growing inside you. The Elephant answered the dog, “the reason I don’t give birth the way you do is because when I do the earth quakes.”
Greatness will always provoke that question, we read of David, but he encouraged himself in the Lord, Gideon asked “if God be with us the why are we going through this. The angel answered him, go with this your might
The issue is when faced with that question, do you turn to God or away from God for answers? When you soul is troubled who do you pour it to? Hannah said, “I poured out my soul unto the Lord” David said bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all His benefits.
