1 | God Prepares His Own for the Best | 1 Sam 2:6 | DocTrinsograce | 243364 | ||
"Hence, when we ask anything of God and He begins to hear us, He so often goes counter to our petitions that we imagine He is more angry with us now than before we prayed, and that He intends not to grant us our requests at all. All this God does, because it is His way first to destroy and annihilate what is in us before He gives us His gifts; for so we read in I Samuel 2:6: 'The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.' Through this most gracious counsel He makes us fit for His gifts and works. Only then are we qualified for His works and counsels when our own plans have been demolished and our own works are destroyed and we have become purely passive in our relation to Him." --Martin Luther (1483-1546) |

2 | God Prepares His Own for the Best | 1 Sam 2:6 | EdB | 243365 | ||
This is the worst exegesis of 1 Sam 2:6 I have ever read. Read this passage in context and see if you an make the connection Luther imagined was there. What loving father destroys the hope of his child to teach them he is father provider? 1 Sam 2:6 is simply confirming God held the keys of death before He gave them to Jesus. It was part of the prayer Hannah prayed when she fulfilled the her oath to God. She is reassuring herself of the power of God and His promise of resurrection. |
