In this episode, we talk about the power of patience in the process and the danger of trying to “help” God fulfill His promises in our own strength. Looking at the story of Sarai and Hagar in Genesis 16, we explore how impatience led to mishandling, hurt, and unnecessary conflict. When Sarai tried to force the promise, people became collateral damage.
This conversation is a heart check: Are we trusting God’s timing, or are we manipulating situations to make things happen faster? God’s promises don’t require us to mistreat others to bring them to pass. If He spoke it, He will fulfill it—without us compromising our character.
