The Birth of Ishmael
1Now Abram’s wife Sarai had not borne a child to him, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar. 2So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.”
Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3So after he had lived in Canaan for ten years, his wife Sarai took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to Abram to be his wife. 4And he slept with Hagar, and she conceived. But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
Gods timing is not our timing. God made a Promise to Abram but Sarai got tired of waiting and she was going to fix the situation! How did this work out?
“But when Hagar realized that she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.”
Sarai began to despise her mistress! Sarai didn’t have faith.
We will see later how this decision affected the whole world and it still is causing conflict today!
Lesson, wait on the Lord! Don’t try to fix it yourself as you will only cause conflict.
Have faith.
Blessings, David
