OCTOBER 9

Back to Your Daily Manna

TOPIC: MAN DOES LESS BUT GOD DOES MORE THAN OUR EXPECTATION

Memory verse:-"But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was

mocking, and she said to Abraham, "Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that

slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”

The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son. But God said to

him, "Do not be so distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to whatever

Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. I will

make the son of the maidservant into a nation also, because he is your offspring.”

Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to

Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on

her way and wandered in the desert of Beersheba.

When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. Then

she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she thought, "I cannot

watch the boy die.” And as she sat there nearby, she began to sob. God heard the boy

crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the

matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the

boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” Then God

opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water

and gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert

and became an archer. While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife

for him from

Egypt

.”

-Gen.21:9-21

What God can do man and money can never do it. Sara, in her desperate desire for a child, made Abraham impregnated her maidservant Hagar and that resulted into trouble between Sara and Hagar. This trouble she put herself in was too much for her to bear and that is a lesson for us all that in our desperation we need to be very careful about what we ask for. When the time came for Abraham to sent Hagar away he could only give her some food and a skin of water. But God gave her comfort, revelation of her and the baby’s future, and a well of water. God does more than what we ask for because he is so merciful. If you have not receive what you have asked for just wait for it in its time your will have.

Prayer:-pray for your heart desire and believe that God is giving it to you

pray for total dependence on God

What to meditate on:

Do you really believe God is a giver, and how do you know?
