‘Wait For The Promise To Be Fulfilled.’
Genesis 16:1-16.
a) Genesis 16:1-2. This was the sin of both Abraham and Sarah, they could not wait for the Promise of God to be fulfilled. People who want everything quickly often miss out on the Blessing that God intends for them.
b) Genesis 16:3. Sarah became jealous of Hagar the maid servant.
c) Genesis 16:4. Hagar began to despise Sarah.
d) Genesis 16:5. Sarah began to blame Abraham for everything. What a relational mess, all because they could not wait for the Promise of God.
e) Genesis 16:6. Hagar ran away because Sarah became so cruel to her.
f) Genesis 16:7-12. The Angel of the Lord found Hagar and gave her the Promise too.
g) Genesis 16:13-16. Hagar had a real encounter with God and the Promise of God came to pass for Hagar before it did for Abraham and Sarah.
(Through this Second one we find a big lesson for all of us to learn: Wait For The Promise To Be Fulfillied)

Blame never solves any problem. Just like Sarah blaming Abraham, it only made the situation so much worse. I meet this problem many times in ministry: people blaming other people for problems. Blaming never resolves anything finding solutions is the way to solve our problems, even our relationship ones.
