Psalm 103:8; Isaiah 1:13-17; Romans 12:1; Hebrews 4:15-16 Take out: 1. Review Hannah's prayer of celebration in 1 Samuel 2:1-10, making special note of all the images of "reversals" - places where positions are reversed and powers are displaced. **What do these dramatic reversals tell us about God's power and justice? **Can you think of any specific examples from scripture where "reversals" are demonstrated through the life and teaching of Jesus? 2. Now read the prayer of an expecting mother in Luke 1:39-55. Can you identify any parallels between Mary's and Hannah's prayer?

Why? * The role of the CHURCH is highlighted in 12:14-21 and the role of the STATE in 13:1-5 * How are the roles of church and state mutally exclusive? How are they similar?

Proverbs 31:26 • David’s anger with religious zeal • Abigail’s ‘rebuke’ • You & Me in the perfect storm? • Abigail like Jesus Take out: Reread 1Samuel 25 and note which verse stands out to you most, and why. Abigail’s petition to David is a great model for all conflict management; considering verses 23-31: • Identify all the times Abigail refers to David as “my lord” or to herself as “your servant”? How else does she humble herself in the process of delivering her correction? • What implications and applications are there for us today as we look at Abigail’s correction to David? o For example, her initiative and independence. The generous and practical approach, coupled with a self-sacrificing and atoning tone. • How is Abigail like Jesus?

Perhaps consider what you would say if cornered and asked to declare your faith. **God used Rahab’s scarlet cord, something small and perhaps insignificant. What in your life might be a ‘scarlet chord’ that God could use to advance His purposes in your sphere of influence?
