Day 14

Deliverance

READ

1 Samuel 2:1-3 (NIV)

REFLECT

These three verses reflect Hannah’s Thanksgiving prayer. Giving thanks is an essential part of prayer. In every address to God it is important to express gratitude to Him as the benefactor of our every need. In the Bible ‘horn’ means power, glory, strength, royal authority, enabling power, honor, dignity, and dominion. To have one’s horn exalted denotes prosperity, triumph and victory! Hannah is immensely grateful and rejoices that lifting high the horn, she draws her strength, honor and dignity from the Lord and delights in the freedom she has through Him. As sons and daughters of the King, we are automatically clothed with a supernatural strength that radiates dignity, honor and worth. The evil one wants nothing more than to devour us with his lies by leading us to believe that we are not worthy; however, we have victory in Christ! Just like Hannah, may you also be victorious. The enemy will not prevail over you. May every shame go away. May your horn be exalted through salvation and victory!

RESPOND

Florida has accomplished great strides in anti-trafficking initiatives. As third in the nation for human trafficking activity, the state is working tirelessly toward building a system of continuum of care for the victims and survivors liberated from this crime. Emergency services are crucial, however, the aftercare of obtaining education, securing a safe and stable place to live, transportation and viable, sustainable employment remain high on the list of needs.

RECEIVE

My Fath er, I come to you with a heart of thanksgiving. Thank you because you are my King. Help me to remember and reclaim that I am your precious son or daughter, an heir to Your eternal throne. My identity and strength are through You and who You say I am! Let me lift high the horn and delight in the freedom You give me. Clothe me with a supernatural strength that radiates dignity, honor, and worth. Help me to remember the source of my identity and strength is your identity and strength. The focus of my faith is your faithfulness. The source of my security is your everlasting love. Amen.
