“So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a
skin of water; and putting it
on her shoulder, he gave it and
the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the
Wilderness of Beersheba.” – Genesis 21:14
In Genesis 35:23-26 we could read about the twelve
sons of Jacob. The count includes the sons that he got through the maidservants
of Leah and Rachel. Even Abraham got a son through the maidservant of Sarah.
But then one day as God asked Abraham to do as Sarah said, he sent Hagar and
his son away.
We read in Bible that God has blessed Abraham in
everything. He had so much of wealth and blessings. But then when he sent his
own son and Hagar away, he just gave bread and a skin of water. He should have
given so many things to Hagar and his son but he failed to do that. Soon they
were in the verge of death and she wept. Hearing the voice of her son, God
interfered and made her see a well of water.
Abraham gave Hagar skin of water but God gave her
well of water. That’s God’s love! His love upon you is everlasting and He never
leaves you nor forsake you.
1.
You will be satisfied
with God’s Love.
Someone out there, you
are ditched by someone whom you had loved and trusted. You are thrown out after
being used for selfish reasons. You lost everything and standing without
anything. Today God wants me to tell you that He will satisfy you with His
love. God has started to fulfil His will upon your life and He wants you to
know that He cares for you and He has greater plans regarding your future. You
will be satisfied with My love says God to you. As God made the son of Hagar a
great nation, He will also raise you in front of the one who betrayed and
ditched you.
2.
You will be satisfied
with God’s goodness.
Hagar wandered in the
wilderness and was in tears. God made her to live. You might be longing for
some blessings that you lack in your life. You might have lost hope about your
future. You will be satisfied with My goodness says God to you.
