I'm sure you've had it happen to you. You call the appliance store and ask for the service department. "Can you hold? a cheerful voice asks, and before you know it you're hearing music. Every so often a taped message assures you that your call will be answered. You wait and wait. You think, if you have driven over there you've been back by now! You feel forgotten and that nobody cares.
Sometimes it seems that God has put us on hold. We pray and pray about a matter of extreme importance, but nothing happens. Nothing! This could be how Hannah felt when she was asking for a baby. In the old testament childlessness was a curse in her day. To make it worse, her husband's other wife ridiculed her mercilessly. Hannah wanted desperately to give her husband a child. She prayed out of deep pain and bitterness. Yet year after year she did not conceive.

So when God puts you on hold don't "hang up"!
Happy weekend everyone! God bless..
