“…What ails you...” – Genesis 21:17
The angel of God
called to Hagar out of heaven, and asked her, “What ails you?"
1. God knows your situation.
God asked this
question to Hagar not because He doesn’t know about her problem but because He
wants her to know that He is so concerned about her and her child’s life.
Your life is like a
wilderness. You are facing discouragement and depression. You are lost. Today
God is asking you, My Child, what ails you?
Even today your heart might
be filled with so much of fear and pain. Do not worry about anything for God is
so much concerned about the hardships that you are facing and the pain you are
going through. He is concerned about everything related to your life. He knows
your struggles and sorrows. He wants you to know that He will never forsake
you.
2. Arise
“Arise, lift up the
lad and hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation." - Genesis 21:18
God wants Hagar to arise
and move on as He had decided to fulfil His promises that He had spoken to her.
You are not called to sit,
worry and shed tears for unnecessary things and die. You are called to do
greater things. As God is going to fulfil His promises in your life from now
on, He says to you, “My beloved child, Arise and move on for I am going to do
great things in your life which you had never thought and dreamt of.”
3. Your life will be filled with God’s
blessings.
“Then God opened
her eyes, and she saw a well of water…” – Genesis 21:19
The situations that
you are facing today in your life that brings pain and sorrow into your heart
is not going to last longer says God to you.
God has heard your cry
and afflictions. He will open a way where there seems to be no way. You are not
going to die. You will see God’s glory and you will live. God will remove all
your pain and make you see greater things.
“For thus says the Lord: ‘You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that
valley shall be filled with water..." - II Kings 3:17
