Genesis 21
Inspired thots
Man can be quite impatient. We dont know quite yet how to wait on God for HIS timing for HIS best will to be done on us.
Sarah 'helped' God by asking Abraham to take on Hagar to get an heir. Yet, when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael, Sarah was jealous and displeased.
Hagar ran away from Sarah who ill-treated her but at God's advice, went back to Sarah who later asked Abraham to chase her and Ishmael out when Isaac was born.
But God is so gracious and kind; He loves all in Abraham's household. He accepted all his mistakes or 'bad moves'. He is merciful on Hagar and Ishmael. He keeps His promises to Abraham yet He does not neglect others who need His grace and mercy too. He is really Compassionate! Praise You, God!
But because of Sarah and Abraham taking things into their own hands, they created the Ishmaelites today who are filling the earth in vast numbers and great speed.
Future generations bear the consequences of earlier foolishness.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
