In Genesis 16, we see Abraham and Sarah waiting ten years for God's promise of a child, leading them to take matters into their own hands by using Sarah's servant Hagar. This human solution creates a cascade of problems: Hagar becomes prideful when pregnant, Abraham shows weakness, and Sarah responds with anger, driving Hagar into the wilderness. There, Hagar encounters God who sees her personally, knows her situation, and provides direction. This powerful story reminds us that God sees us in our wilderness moments, whether caused by our choices or others', and calls us to His place of grace rather than our self-made solutions.
