Bible Reading: Gen. 16: 7 - 16
Topic: Go Back And Submit
God is not the Author of
confusion. He recognizes order and equally expects His people to obey rules.
After she ran away from
home, the Angel of the Lord told Hagar to go back and submit to her mistress Sarai.
Today many of us would
have advised night vigils, dry fasting and violent prayers for Sarai's death so
she could possess her possessions in Abram's family.
But God knows that Hagar
was not justified in her conduct.
Be careful about how you
pass judgment in matters over which you do not have the complete picture,
especially when it concerns marriage, servant and master misunderstanding
e.t.c.
After the instruction to
submit, the Angel revealed God's plan for Hagar and the child she would bear.
There's always God's will
in every situation and good success )Josh. 1: 9) would come as we find and
follow it.
Please let us learn to
submit to God's will in every situation so that peace can reign.
Humble yourself so that God
will fulfill His plans for you. Don't destroy your future, marriage and other
expectations because of worthless ego
Prayer:
Give me the grace oh Lord
to hear and obey Your Word so that peace will reign in my life and in my
family, Amen
Memory Verse: Gen. 16: 9
"And the Angel of the
Lord said unto her; Return to thy mistress and submit thyself under her hands"
