But God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven. “Hagar, what’s wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Go to him and comfort him, for I will make a great nation from his descendants. Genesis 21: 17-18 (NLT)
Hagar had nothing.
No home
No friends
No family
No inheritance for her son
No future
No prospects for marriage
Neither a virgin, nor a widow, Hagar was considered a soiled woman
Alone in the wilderness, Hagar wept.
She wept for her child
She wept for ruined dreams and crushed hopes
She wept for the pain of betrayal and loss
She wept for the precious one she could not bear to lose
But God … That’s the game-changer
When God steps in, He brings promises and hope
He will not leave us to wallow in our sorrow because He loves us too much to leave us there
Hagar’s story didn’t end in the desert
Neither did her son’s
God intervened and turned their lives around
Though rejected by man, Hagar was redeemed by God
Though scorned by Sarai, Hagar became the mother of nations
Though broken by circumstances, Hagar was blessed by The Almighty
Though she appeared to have nothing, Hagar had everything
Because God was on her side
Changes everything, doesn’t it?
