When we believe that God has anointed us for a task, we can get overly excited and make plans.
The problem is that many times those plans are our ideas instead of God’s direction. That is how
Sarai envisioned God’s promise to give her and Abram a son in their old age. She became inventive
thinking that her maiden, Hagar, was the only way they could have a son. And that is the problem;
sometimes we think of our own solutions, instead of believing and waiting on God. But God sees her
impatience. When Hagar’s attitude changes toward Sarai, and runs away feeling that she and her
unborn baby are forgotten, God intervenes and helps. In fact, she names the LORD who intercepts
her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees. There are many things we can discuss when we read through
this story. Many people believe that this Ishmael-Isaac conflict still plays out today between Islam
and Israel. But God seems to have His reasons and ways of making things right, even when we
really mess up. No wonder Jesus Christ took God’s provision and remained quiet when He was being
crucified. The LORD sees everything: past, present, and future.
