There are many times in life...too many to count...when we find our selves in a bad situation. Sometimes, those situations are our own fault. However, there are times when the bad situation is NOT our making. We did not choose to be where we are...and yet...they we are. Hagar finds herself in just such a situation in Genesis 16. Her experience can offer some important lessons on how to respond when we find ourselves in bad situations that are not our fault.
