Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 1 Samuel 1:24

The book of First Samuel records the story of Hannah, an Israelite woman. Her life circumstances were humiliating and demoralizing. But the Bible pictures her as an exemplary, God-fearing woman. This reading plan takes Hannah’s life story as an example for our own lives. Do read with us!

Proverbs 31:10-31 describes a “virtuous woman,” an “excellent wife.” But the original Hebrew uses the word “Eshet Chayil,” which means “woman of valor.” Throughout the Bible, there are remarkable stories of women who were brave, strong, and steady under pressure. They were difference-makers in the world, and we can learn from their stories what it looks like to be a “woman of valor” today.

If you’ve ever felt unseen or unimportant and struggled to see how you could make a lasting impact for God’s kingdom, this is the plan for you! We know the significance of famous women in the Bible, such as Esther, Eve, and Ruth. But what about the unsung and even unnamed women in the Bible? In Vol 2 of this plan, discover the lasting impact of ten more changemakers like Abigail, Zipporah, and one who's referred to only as "The Wise Woman." Their stories remind and encourage us that God sees, values, and has a divine purpose for his daughters.

Everyone carries a promise from God. Before you were born, He already knew you and had a purpose for your life. You are not here by accident. God has placed something inside of you that longs to come alive; a promise, a calling, a dream that reflects His heart. In this 10-day devotional, we walk through the story of Hannah, the mother of Samuel. Her journey teaches us powerful lessons about prayer, faith, character, and surrender, principles that still lead us to “give birth” to the promises God has placed within us. Book: 'Giving birth to your Promise'

So often, we are confronted with situations where we feel completely powerless. We tried everything, but there is just no breakthrough. In such situations, we need to understand that it is possible to move people through God by prayer alone. Too often, we want to lend God a hand. Throw yourself on God - He is able.

April – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s organized by genre. April moves from the chaos at the end of Judges into the hope of Ruth and the rise of Israel’s kings in 1 Samuel and early 2 Samuel. You’ll see God working through faithfulness and failure, raising leaders, shaping a nation, and remaining present even when His people struggle. Along the way, this month highlights God’s patience, His sovereign plan, and His steady movement toward redemption despite human weakness.

1 Samuel charts the rise and fall of several of Israel’s leaders. You’ll meet the notoriously arrogant king Saul and see the ascent of the man after God’s own heart – David. You’ll read of dangerous battles, murder plots, giants and even more surprises in this book.  You’ll see that despite turbulence in leadership, seemingly strong enemies and spiritual decay God is very much at work orchestrating the fall of the proud and the rise of the humble. What an encouragement for us today when we are faced with challenges not too dissimilar to these!
