Genesis 16 : 1 – 4

Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai. Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan. So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes. Genesis 16 : 1 – 4 NKJV

In this scripture this shows the result of self effort. Have you ever wanted something so bad that you will do just about anything to get it? Abram was promised a child in GOD’S time, but didn’t want to wait on The LORD so born was Ishmael. Ishmael is a direct reflection of self work, the promised child Isaac was born of GOD’S promise and became a great name. Sometimes we have to wait on The LORD’S promise, it may take days, months, years but be assured HIS timing is always perfect. Have you been waiting on something ? Pray that it is GOD’S will in HIS perfect timing ………. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17
