*The Narrow Path* _Daily devotion_ *Its not always the devil* *1 Samuel 1:5-6*: "But the Lord had shut her womb." Not every situation that happens to a believer is there to harm them. Hannah was a barren woman, and she was made that way not by the devil but by God Himself. If you read the chapter of that story, you're going to discover that Hophni and Phinehas, the sons of Eli, were rebellious and not fit to replace their father. So, God had to choose Hannah and made her barren to push her to pray the prayer that produced Samuel. Samuel later became a great prophet whom the children of Israel found no blame in him. As the Bible says in *Romans 8:28*, "All things work together for good to them that love God." Your situation is not meant to break you but to make you. The ways of the Lord are not the ways of men.
