Lord God Almighty, Your will be done. You are great and sovereign. You have elected us to do Your works here on earth. To work through us. This story is a great reminder of Your control. You promised Abraham and Sarah a child. They did not wait but instead Abraham bore a child with their slave Hagar. This was not the child You promised. So, 14 years later Sarah becomes pregnant and bears the child You promised. Although they didn't wait and they broke their obedience to You, Your promise was still fulfilled. I thank You that You are not limited by my actions...by my limits. That Your will be done, period. Now, there is a price. Because they didn't wait and Hagar bore Ishmael, there is a contention between the two sons of Abraham. There are consequences for our disobedience. But through all of that You are still sovereign. Your reign will not be altered by our actions. For You already know all that will come to pass. You have already seen the glory of the new heaven and new earth. Lord I praise You for Your consistency, Your patience, Your faithfulness, and Your boundless love for us. Help me to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness.
for only one is true and holy
