In Genesis 21:8 we find Hagar and her son Ishmael at the feast that had been given for Isaac's weaning. Abraham was a rich man and God had greatly blessed him. Sarah had taken notice of Hagar and Ishmael's presence and wanted them removed. She herself had given Hagar to her own husband so that their union might supply her with a child. At this point, she now has her own son Isaac and was not willing to have him share his inheritance with his half brother.
Abraham was not happy about this for after all Ishmael was his son as well. But God told Abraham to go ahead and do what Sarah had said to do. And so he gave her some bread and water and sent her and her son to the wilderness where at some point she is near death. But God heard the boy. Was he crying? Was he praying? At this point I don't know. But God did rescue Hagar and reminded her of his promise that he was going to make him a great nation.
What became of the two of them after this? We will look into this in tomorrow's blog. Thanks for visiting today Friends.I hope you will come back tomorrow. God bless.
