Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands, Genesis 16 OT S1:E12

Abram and Sarai concoct a plan to get pregnant, but their plan is not that they have a child together, but rather that Abram have a child with her servant Hagar. No surprise all hell breaks loose in their family after they take matters into their own hands following God's promise to bless Abram with a son.

Hagar gets kicked out of the family. Pregnant and alone in the desert, God appears to her and promises to bless her and her son. The family is restored.

We can join in Hagar's praise, knowing the God Who sees us and seeks us when we are down.
