today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

God is a good God who loves to bless people.

And it is often when we lay down our idolatries.

It is often when we release the hold that things like success or fertility or

family when we release the hold they have in our heart it is then that God gives us

what we were seeking but now it's his version of it.

Hello and welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor, author, and apologist J.D. Greer.

As always, I'm your host Molly Vittevich.

We just began a new teaching series through the life of King David, so you're joining us at a perfect time today. The Prophet Samuel played a pivotal

role in David's life but today we're backing up even further and looking at the life of

Samuel's mother, Hannah and it's easy to read Hannah's story in First Samuel and think that the lesson

is that if we ask God for something in faith he will answer but Hannah's

song of praise and trust in God's faithfulness points to an even greater

promise.

Pastor Jady continues to teach us how trust in God's greatest gift, Jesus, leads to identity, security, and happiness.

So let's jump back into First Samuel, Chapter 1 now.

Here's Pastor J.D.

The search for identity, security, and happiness is something we all have in common

and it's what the story of David is all about.

Which is why David's story opens up with another story that at first seems pretty random and disconnected.

But y'all it is not.

It is the story of a woman who is pretty down on her luck.
