We trace Sarai’s plan in Genesis 16, the pain that follows, and Hagar’s encounter with the God who sees, then turn to Psalm 16 for a vision of joy that fuels trust and obedience. We end by calling our church to zeal for good works shaped by grace.

• Sarai’s impatience and the cost of control
• Hagar at the well and the God who sees
• The angel of the Lord as a Christophany
• Trinitarian hints in the Old Testament
• Psalm 16’s path of life and true joy
• Obedience as glad worship, not cold duty
• Zealous good works anchored in grace and hope
• Practical heart check for trusting God’s timing
