Genesis 16_The LORD Sees Hagar's Abuse

Frustrated by her barren state, Sarai comes up with a solution to help her husband produce an heir: she will give her slave girl, Hagar, to him as a surrogate. But when Hagar conceives, she grows contemptive of her mistress. When Abram supports Sarai's power and authority over her slave girl, Sarai proceeds to abuse Hagar. It is a dark and uncomfortable story. But when the LORD's angel appears, the story takes a sudden turn. I invite you to join me in today's episode as we explore how God is paying attention to even the little people.
