1And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 2There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 3Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed (1 Samuel 2: 1-3).
In this passage, Hannah is praising the Creator. Hannah had requested of the Lord a son; a son that she would dedicate to the Lord. Her request was granted, and her son Samuel became a great prophet to Israel.
God is described in this passage as holy, as a rock (of salvation), and as a God of knowledge. All of these descriptors of God are very important, however today I want to focus knowledge. God as creator is the source of all knowledge. Knowledge was and is created. The Creator is therefore the benchmark or standard that all of creation should look to for knowledge. In a world that ever increasingly seems to think that Man is the source of knowledge, we should be advocates of the true source of knowledge. Since God is the true source of knowledge, we can abide and trust in Him, and proclaim His knowledge to the world . The Creator is knowledge and our standard to which we look.
