Genesis 16

There were such interesting relationships back then, especially with this story between Abram, Sarai, and Hagar... but there's also something to pick up from the Lord from each passage. I believe that in this one God wants us to know that He is always watching over us and hears our prayers and pleads. If we're struggling or suffering He will come save us. He'll never forsake us. God hears us, as that is what the name of Hagar's son Ishmael means. He's always with us. It's an everlasting promise.
