您教導我們跌倒，能使我們更加堅強！

謝謝您偉大的母親，

祝所有的母親，母親節快樂！

母親是上帝賜給孩子跟先生最美好的禮物。很高興我們看到今天許多的母親在教會當中被尊榮。母親是一項艱鉅的任務，許多的夜晚無法入眠，許多原本不用操心事，結果都成為母親的麻煩，母親對孩子們的付出孩子們不知道，等到他們真的知道了，母親也老了，母親是最偉大的，謝謝您們偉大的母親。

從前，有兩個孩子跟爸爸在討論母親節要送媽媽什麼禮物，哥哥就說：「今年的紅包錢不夠，我們送一個跟以前不一樣的禮物，每年都送香水，我想她應該希望可以拿到別的禮物，今年我們送她一張卡片，在上面我們跟媽媽說我們以後要做一個乖孩子再不給媽媽惹麻煩了，這樣好不好？」

The older boy says, “Instead of just another bottle of perfume fro mom on Mother’s Day, we’re giving her a promissory note stating that we will never cause another problem, fght or get in trouble ever again.”

The Dad replies “You really expect to keep those promises?”

Then the younger son realizing the impossibility of that responds, “Could I borrow money for a bottle of perfume?”

爸爸說：「兒子，你真的打算給媽媽這樣的承諾嗎？」

we’re giving her a promissory note stating that we will never cause another problem, fght or get in trouble ever again.”

The Dad replies “You really expect to keep those promises?”

Then the younger son realizing the impossibility of that responds, “Could I borrow money for a bottle of perfume?”

弟弟不知道哥哥所說的到底是什麼意義，但是當他知道哥哥所說的不惹麻煩是是很難辦到的一件事以後，弟弟跟爸爸說：「爸爸，我可不可以跟你借錢，我想我們還是買瓶一香水送給媽媽好了！」

對於小孩子來說，不給媽媽惹麻煩是不可能的事情，因為媽媽總是關心孩子的需要，媽媽的眼目永遠是在孩子的身上，所以母親可以看出孩子的問題，上帝設計母親的時候就已經給了他們一個關懷與愛的心靈。

雖然上帝創造母親有著一顆關愛的心靈，但是媽媽的工作卻是最全世界困難的，不過如果要成為一個敬虔愛上帝的母親那會是更加困難卻又值得的一項挑戰，今天早上我們尊榮偉大的母親，我們也要一起來看聖經中一位模範母親，讓我們來向她學習如何成為一個敬虔的母親！

事實上，今天的信息不只為母親而已，今天的信息是為了所有人預備的，哈拿所遭遇到的，我們也都會遭遇到，所以哈拿得勝的經歷，也可以成為我們的得勝經歷，我們每一個人都可以成為榮耀神並且敬虔愛主的人！

事實上，今天的信息不是只為母親而已，今天的信息是為了所有人而預備的，哈拿所遭遇到的，我們也都會遭遇到，所以哈拿得勝的經歷，也可以成為我們的得勝經歷，我們每一個人都可以成為榮耀神並且敬虔愛主的人！

第一點，我們從今天的經文當中可以看到，

Slide Actually while I am applying this to moms for Mother’s Day, this is something that will be applicable to each one of us here, mother or father, single or married, male or female, because ultimately this is about how we can be godly people.

一﹑敬虔的母親遭遇困難

在今天的聖經當中，我們看到有一位女子她的名字叫做哈拿，聖經告訴我們他雖然是以利加拿的妻子，但是她沒有兒女！這是哈拿的人生當中最大的問題，我姐姐跟姊夫結婚大概三年，都沒有生孩子！那時候姐姐也很擔心，我想她的心情跟哈拿類似！人們會認為，無法生育是一種不受祝福的恥辱，他們會想，一定是有問題才生不出孩子！如果所有的問題都探討過，也都做過努力，但是還是沒有辦法懷孕，那麼一定是他們犯了什麼罪，不蒙神祝福！

不過事實上並不是這樣，哈拿就沒有犯什麼罪！聖經告訴我們哈拿不能生育是因為神使她不能生育。基督徒信耶穌以後不一定都會順利，但是耶穌卻承諾我們他會給我們一顆平安的心！

基督徒信耶穌以後不一定都會順利，但是耶穌卻承諾我們他會給我們平安的心！

聖經上說我們人活在這個世界上，就是會遇見苦難！

| Thu May 10 2018 p2 take heart!

I have overcome the world."

And Paul echoes this in 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, Throughout the Bible we see people who are striving to live for God who are facing problems Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Esther, and here we see Hannah We see in these verses that Hannah’s husband Elkanah had 2 wives and his other wife had children.

Verse 2 tells us that “Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.”

Now this is in an age when one of the main purposes of having a wife was to provide children.

And not only was she not able to have children, but she faced ridicule for this year after year.

And because the LORD had closed her womb, her rival kept provoking her in order to irritate her.

7 This went on year after year.

Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival provoked her till she wept and would not eat.

“Hi Hannah, could you help me with my children, I have so many.”

Hi Hannah, would you mind helping me change a diaper, oh do you know how to change a diaper, since you have never had any kids?”

And this went on year after year.

Hannah I am sure felt feelings of inadequacy.

She suffered bouts of depression Lord, what are you doing here What was her purpose in life?

I am certain there are women here (scratch that, people here) today, who feel inadequate, or are depressed, or don’t understand yet why the Lord has them in the situation they are in.

Maybe there are some here today who haven’t been able to have children or who have lost a child or who are struggling to provide for their family SermonCentral.com

| Thu May 10 2018 p3 Maybe you are facing problems and thinking, I must not be a good or godly person in the eyes of God since this is happening to me.

I want to tell you that this message is for you today.

To be a Godly Mom or a Godly person does not mean that you are not going to have problems.

You are going to have to face problems.

But you need to know that you don’t have to face them alone and just because you face problems does not mean that you are not loved by the Lord.

But what to do in those moments?

Let’s see what Hannah did.

Once when they had fnished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up.

Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.

10 In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the LORD.

11 And she made a vow, saying, "O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head."

12 As she kept on praying to the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.

13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard.

Eli thought she was drunk 14 and said to her, "How long will you keep on getting drunk?

Get rid of your wine." 15 "Not so, my lord," Hannah replied, "I am a woman who is deeply troubled.

I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the LORD.

16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief."

Here we see that A Godly Mom Prays Slide Hannah was pouring out her soul to the Lord.

She had some real problems that were causing her pain and anguish, but instead of giving up, she looked up.

She looked up to God in prayer.

Often, it is not until we are facing problems that we turn to the Lord.

So often, we try to handle things ourselves.

Diffcult circumstances in our life teach us to persevere and they help us to mature and rely upon God.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

4 Perseverance must fnish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p4 When we don’t mature in Christ, when we aren’t continually counting on Him, we will be lacking in the relationship with Christ that is essential to truly living.

When Paul had his thorn in his fesh, God would not take it away because it was there to help Paul continue to rely on Him.

We can count on the grace of God to strengthen us and get us through.

Jesus told Paul in "My grace is suffcient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Christ’s power in our lives is made perfect in our weaknesses.

It is not until we face problems that our weakness is exposed In areas where our weakness is exposed, we often have no choice but to turn to Christ.

That is where Hannah is.

She is at the end of herself.

She cries out to God in her weakness.

Some of you here today may be suffering through different issues.

Go to God with your problems Pray that through whatever you are experiencing that God will grow you.

And pray for God to change things.

He can and He does.

Hannah did not turn away from God in her problems, but she turned to God with her problems.

Be a Godly Mom and express what you are feeling to God in prayer.

Be an example to your children.

Being in relationship with God does not mean putting on a show that everything is ok when it is not.

Being in relationship with God means being real in expressing how you are truly feeling to God and asking for His help in dealing with it.

That is what Hannah did.

That is what you should do.

We need to be praying in everything.

Transition Let’s continue and see what else we can learn from Hannah - 17 Eli answered, "Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him."

18 She said, "May your servant fnd favor in your eyes."

Then she went her way and ate something, and her SermonCentral.com

| Thu May 10 2018 p5 face was no longer downcast.

19 Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah.

Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

20 So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son.

She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the LORD for him."

The third thing we see here is that A Godly Mom trusts God’s Provision Slide Now, yes God did bless Hannah and provide a child for her.

And yes God does change our circumstances sometimes as part of His provision.

But sometimes He doesn’t change our circumstances, but He still provides for us.

Remember what we just read regarding Paul’s thorn in his fesh.

"My grace is suffcient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

God did not take away the circumstance of Paul, but He provided for Him through His grace.

Now look at verse 18 in .

Before she became pregnant, before she even could have been pregnant, God provided peace for Hannah.

- “she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.”

As we trust in Jesus for salvation and grow in that relationship and pour out our hearts to the Lord in anguish, God cares for us and provides for us through the peace that only He can provide.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

God’s provision does not necessarily change out circumstances, although we certainly can ask for that.

But God’s provision does change us.

We still may not understand everything, but we don’t need to.

Instead, we know everything that we need to know, that God cares for us and He is working out His will in our life and that is the best place to be.

The peace of God, which transcends all understanding.

What an incredible God that we have who provides for us so abundantly.

Paul learned this.

SermonCentral.com | Thu May 10 2018 p6 I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
