The God Who Sees (Me)Genesis 16:1-16
Genesis 16 follows on the heels of significant events in Abram's life. In Chapter 14 he experienced a great military conquest by the Lord's hand, and in Chapter 15 he has received a vision from God concerning the promise of a son and offspring. He also has experienced the reality of God making a covenant with Him; a unilateral covenant of grace. He is indeed a man confirmed in His faith by the Lord; however, in Chapter 16 Abram, and Sarai with him, experience a significant low point in their lives. They experience the failure of trusting in the Lord, subjecting themselves to behavior unbecoming to people of God. We wonder, "How could this be?" However, such is the experience of the imperfect people of God. As we work our way through the text, we will explore their failure and also see how the Lord works His redemptive purposes even in the midst of their darkest hours. Though the consequences of their actions are not erased, the redemptive purposes of the Lord stand fast. I pray that this portion of Scripture will serve as encouragement to your heart in your pursuit of your faith in Christ.
Roger and Marsha Melson
