About The Heart

Each day I take one or more verses, beginning at the beginning of the Bible, including the word heart. To that I add a little informal commentary.

Rejoicing Heart

1 Samuel 2:1
Then Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.

The story continues. The baby was weaned and given to the service of God under Eli, and then Hannah prayed, aloud this time.
"My heart rejoices in the LORD."
Her whole song is about the omnipotence and uniqueness of Yahweh. All is from Him, and nothing can stand against Him. Our job is to rejoice in Him in our innermost thoughts, the vital core of our being.
