This quote is from the story of Hannah. She had wanted a child for a long time, but she did not have one until she was older. Before this son came, she was mocked (verse 6) and anxious (verse 16). She cried out to the Lord and poured her heart out to Him (Eli, the priest, sees this in verses 12-18).
What happens is that God remembers her (verses 19-20). At the end of it all, Hannah gives her son to the Lord (verse 20).
Verse 20 reminds me that whatever we receive from God, it is His. A relationship with Him is our greatest treasure, on earth and in heaven.
Where do we take this? We can take this knowledge, that God has this ability to work miracles, to heart. We can share with others this living faith that we have because of what Christ has done for us. We can give our troubles to the Lord and trust that He is living and at work today. I pray we show others how God is our treasure.
