    In this section from the story of Abraham, we see that he and Sarah got ahead of God and tried to force God to bring an heir through Hagar. There are a lot of important lessons for us to learn from this episode.

    Don’t Settle For Ishmael When You Can Have Isaac

    based on 1 rating
     | 24,568 views

    Abraham failed to contend for a supernatural offspring, opting to settle for less than God's best. Many Christians do likewise. God commands, "Get rid of the slave woman and her son!" i.e - "Stop accepting only natural solutions!"

    When we try to do things our way instead of relying on God's promises, we only make a mess of things.

    My dad was the king of shortcuts. While others stuck to the major roads, he took the back streets to avoid busy intersections throughout Tokyo where we lived. My dad had such a knack for finding these shortcuts that even the Japanese members of his congregation started to ask him the quickest way ...read more

    Don't go ahead of God. Instead, wait on Him

    An article in Time.com a few years ago noted that ketchup flows out of a glass bottle at a rate of .028 miles per hour. That's slower than a Galapagos tortoise, which, according to the San Diego Zoo, zips along at a blazing 0.16 miles per hour, or almost six times faster than ketchup. However, ...read more

    An Angel Spoke To Hagar

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Aug 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,280 views

    Hagar was in the wilderness in Genesis 16. God sent an angel to her. We can learn a lot from her experience.

    When Hagar got pregnant with Ishmael, she despised Sarah and was disrespectful toward her. (Genesis 16:4b) Sarah told Abraham, “When she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes.” Abraham told Sarah to handle the situation as she pleased. Sarah “dealt harshly” with Hagar, and Hagar ...read more

    In my arrogance and indignation I have said in effect, "FORGET IT LORD, I'LL DO IT MYSELF!" GOD'S TIMETABLE IS OFTEN NOT MY TIMETABLE. It is not Him that needs to change.

    Part 1 - Genesis 16:1-6 - FORGET IT! I'LL DO IT MYSELF! I remember seeing some shorts to a movie once where a millionaire agrees to pay a couple a million dollars if the wife will sleep with him for one night. What would you do?

    Even when the times are tough, and we feel like God should act … we must wait on Him! Abram and Sarai refused to hear this, and acted impulsively to usher in the birth of a child.
