Genesis: Lessons from Sarah

Genesis 16

1 - Don't assume God is holding out on you for your detriment just because He COULD give you something and has chosen to not do it. His end goal is always His own glory - and refining you to realize it.

2 - Don't take action when your actions are based on bitterness, jealousy, envy, anger, selfishness, or spite. Just don't. It's always better to take no action OR act instead in love.

3 - Don't build expectations on projections built on "ifs" that are stacked on top of each other. "IF I can't have a baby, and IF Hagar can, then IF Hagar had Abram's baby, and IF Hagar is compliant and gives me the baby, then I can have a child through Hagar."

Worship God. Humble yourself. Repeat. Exponentially.
