A woman without child. She prays and God hears. He answers. In return for being blessed with a son, she lends him to the LORD's service for his life-time. While still in the womb, she dedicates her son's life to the LORD. She makes vows for him (appearing to be similar to a Nazirite) even before he is born.
How many of us have done this? How many mothers grieve as their children grow in years, that they do not serve the LORD with their whole hearts and minds and souls? Is there a gift that could be better than this - that our children should know the LORD and be in a living, loving relationship with Him?
May God grant that the children of all who read this would turn to the LORD and serve Him above all others. That they would turn to Him and live full lives dedicated to walking with God, who is the only one who can make their journeys worth rejoicing.
