Wrap Up
Hagar was a woman who was used by Sarah to bear a child for Abraham, and her story is found in the book of Genesis in the Bible. She faced many challenges, but God was always with her and promised to bless her descendants. In Genesis 21:17-18, we read: "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.’" Hagar’s story reminds us that we serve a God who sees us and cares for us, even in our most difficult moments.
