God has promised Abram offspring over and over again but his wife Sarai has not yet born a child. Sarai takes matters into her own hands and offers her slave girl to Abram. Hagar conceived, then ran away, but an angel sent her back. Hagar's son was Ishmael.
"God is sovereign and we have a hard time accepting that.
We must not only trust God's promise, but we must obtain God's promises in the way, by the method which He says we are to obtain those promises."
(Ligon Duncan)
