Speacia l Peope/The Rest of the Story (Or at least some of it)

The Angel of the Lord said, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her. You will have a son and will call him Ishmael because the Lord has heard your suffering. He will be a wild man. He will be against every man and every man will be against him." Genesis 16:9-12.

Whatever suffering Hagar had had to endure during this whole situation, God had heard her prayers. He would help her as she would go back home to have her baby. She acknowledges God in verse 13.

Her life in scripture does not end with her meeting with God in the wilderness.
She did give birth to Abraham's son Ishmael at his young age of about 86. After which it looks like she is not heard about until chapter 21. I plan to go that part of their story in the next couple of days.

And in learning about these special people that God loves, we should never forget that for those of us that have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ we  too are special to him. When he promises something he will fulfil it. Maybe not in our timeframe. Maybe not in the way we want him to. But knowing that he has the best interest  for us at heart  we can have the peace that whatever we ask, he will do.

And as with them, we are no less special in his eyes all these thousands of years later.
