Ridiculed But Not Broken Scripture: 1 Samuel 1: 1-7; 19-20 Some people in this world feel they are called to discourage. They constantly keep your shortcomings before you. Elkanah’s other wife Peninnah made sure that Hannah knew she had not given their husband any children. This is the trick of the enemy – to get you to give up before you give birth. Hannah would one day give birth to a Samuel. What is it you are to give birth to that the devil is trying to discourage? Keep your head up and stay before the Lord. Don’t let others jealousy, envy, or other ungodly ways cause you to miss what you are to have by faith!
