Genesis Chapter 16 Discussion Page 2

"..And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face...And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands." Sarai was right to punish her and "deal hardly" with her: Hagar did wrong toward her Mistress when she arrogantly despised her. God's will for all of us is to be right and do right to each other by accepting rebukes and corrections.

truly sarah had lost faith

GODS time the best

Verse 4: Hagar began to show disrespect towards Sarah. When we receive a privilege or good happens to us, we want to continue to show respect to other people and not look down on anyone.

Thank God this website exists because there are no other things on the internet that are holy, except for other similar websites.

Man thougths are not God thoughts, so I say unto you wait on the Lord, wait on the Lord!!!

The best chapter to praise the lord!

I love this chapter! It is the best chapter!

yes sometimes we do things without thinking an waiting on GOD to bring us out, then when reality hits us we want to cry out to the LORD for help when we was to listen to HIS voice, yes i done somethings i wish i can go back an erase but i just ask my GOD for forgiveness an turn away from the sin i committed.am so glad that HE dont give us what our deserve for our sins, AMEN.

I love the teachings and the quiz! Amazing! Thank you!

The fountain where the angel met Hagar is a symbol of Christ.Jesus is the fountain of life.When you come to Him,every trouble and confusion in your life recieve solution.Jesus is the Way and not a way.Hagar's life embraces peace as soon as she accepted the Way.She returned and was welcomed.

Sari didn't have the faith that she was going to have a child, having offered her maid toAbram. She brought all the negative things on herself and blamed everyone else for her actions. It was amazing that the Angel of the Lord spoke to Hagar and she acknowledged God.

The lord we serve is a living God that fulfill His promises. Let us learn how to remain focused on Him.He is a God that knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end.

God is great he gives us everything he says he is going to give us we just have to take a min to listen to what he is telling us and be patient ,

Gen. 16, the God that we serve is a awesome God. He has told us that to everything there is a time. i think Sarah should have waited a bit, because the promise of God can not but be fulfilled in Abraham.it was the impatience of Sarai that brought the problem they encountered. However, the God that changeth not intervened and took control over everything. i think we should always allow God to direct us in every of our decisions so that we don't make mistake. Bless you.

I belive the world will be in harmony if we could learn to the gentle whispers of God but everyone is so self serving.

God does what he says, he never lies. He says my promises are ye and amen.

what a lesson to learn, why we still are fighting today, judism and muslum

Derek...True words you have spoken...Amazing it is to me that Ishmael became the Father of Islam and Isaac became the Father of Jews and Christianity. This must be the longest family feud in the history of man!

Habaakkuk 2 3 says it all. But Adam should 't have listened to Eve. Just as Abrahm Shouldn 't have listened to Sarai. Nevertheless God had a plan. AMEN.

if we rely on our own understanding and try to give solution in our own way, it will add only sorrow to it Genesis 16 1 5 . and that 's what Sarai did and made a mistake by not waiting upon the Lord Proverbs 3 5 7

No matter how situation you are passing through this is telling us that we should bear it for some time and God will find the solution to it. You will overcome your problem IJN. Amen

I what to know more about the bible and a true christian

it appears that the state of unrest in the Middle East is directly related to this prophecy, as the modern day Arabs are direct descendants of Ishmael and when they are not fighting against when they are not fighting Israel they are fighting among themselves i

Our earthly wisdom is nothing but foolishness in the sight of God. The moment we stop being spiritual, the carnal worldly fleshly man will rise up since we all know nature abhors vacuum. One moment of walking in the flesh can cause so much trouble and we need Grace to always stand by whatever God has promised through His Written Word or Rhema divine revelation . I Corinthians 1 25 says 'Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ' Romans 8 8 says 'So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God '. Lastly, Proverbs 3 5 6 encourages us to 'Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. '. That you made a mistake does not mean God cannot turn it around for good, after all Ishmael came from the loins of Abraham and if God had disallowed Hagar from conceiving for Abraham, there would have been no Ishmael, but God is the Governor of the Universe and nothing happens anywhere or anytime without His permission. He alone takes all the glory

IT PAYS TO WAIT UPON GOD.
HABAAKKUK 2:3
FOR THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, BUT AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK AND NOT LIE: THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT FOR IT; BECUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY.

Sarai should have waited on God and trusted him.

Jeniffer Modeste-Wharton St. Matt 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

This passage simply describes the character of Ishmael and all of his descendants.

1 Corinthians 6:2–3 tells us that Christians can judge angels then why would we want to be an angel in heaven when we are greater than angels on earth.
