Main Texts: 1 Samuel 1:1-28. Barren Hannah and the birth of Samuel; Luke 1:5-25,
57-66 Barren Elizabeth’s and the birth of John the Baptist; both conclude with worship Songs: Hannah 1 Samuel 2:1-4; Zechariah; Luke 1:67-80. In these particular situations barrenness was God created or permitted by God(1 Samuel 1:5-6; Luke 1:7) and counterintuitively in these particular situations were actually both a painful test of fait conjoined to the creation of Divine Opportunity; And they were not dependent on the central actors faith; But rather on God’s determined will which resulted in both joy and faith.
