If you are a follower of Christ are there chapters in your life that highlight God's faithfulness to you and your response to Him?

Hannah was one of two wives of a man name Elkanah who lived near Shiloh. The other wife of Elkanah, Penninah, had children, but Hannah had no child. Because of this, Hannah was very grieved. To make matters worse, Peninnah taunted Hannah concerning her barrenness. Although Elkanah loved Hannah and was very kind to her, Penninah's unkindness on top of  her natural grief was too much to bear and she cried out to God about her situation. She promised the Lord that if He would give her a son, she would dedicate him to God as a Nazirite - a man set apart to serve God. 

Today, we look at this chapter in Hannah's life - how she experienced God's faithfulness and kept her vow.
