God is Great

His Word reveals how truly great God is.  Think of the Bible as a treasure chest.  We have to open it if we’re to gain its riches!

Genesis 16

118) Sarai, Abram’s wife, believed the Lord was keeping her from having children.  (He has a reason for everything.)

119) The angel of the Lord found Hagar in the desert.  He spoke to her!  He told her to go back to Sarai, and He will increase her descendants.  He then spoke of the child she was carrying.  (We are rewarded when we do what God asks of us.)

120) The Lord had heard of Hagar’s misery.  (We don’t suffer alone.)

121) Hagar said, “You are the God who sees me.”  Also, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”  (God can see us, too!)

Think about what this one chapter teaches us about God.  He loves us and doesn’t leave us alone to face the hardships of this world.  We were never meant to walk this earth alone.
