Fix It Room

The God who sees you. Remember Hagar? Quick recap..... (LSV...or "The Lisa Standard Version")

Abraham is promised a son. A legacy, descendants....

He is older than dirt, as is his wife.

They wait and wait....

and Sarah gets to thinking...

and decides to go into the fix it room.......

Busy sign is put up....and she keeps on thinking......

She BURSTS out of the room with a WONDERFUL idea!!

Abraham will take her slave: Hagar - as a concubine and get HER pregnant! (The crowd gasps....screams...NO !!)

Thus, Ishmael is conceived.

Sarah got busy in her fix it room and didn't wait on the Lord's timing.

Sarah took the matter into her own hands - and Ishmael will pop into the world....the father of the Muslim race.

Do you have an Ishmael? Do you have a consequence in your life, in your heart - that is a result of going into your fix it room and not waiting on the Lord's timing?

Let's look at Sarah and Hagar again:

Sarah goes and gets herself jealous and angry ( really Sarah?? Really?? Ya' think??)

Hagar, pregnant - flees from Sarah- after Sarah "dealt severely with her, humbling and afflicting her"

We find Hagar, pregnant, alone, in the wilderness by a spring of water.

Some of the greatest words from scripture...."But the Angel of the Lord FOUND HER" (Genesis 16:7)

You may be pregnant with your own Ishmael today. You may have something going on in your life and in your heart that is a result of your own actions, solutions and time spent in your fix it room. The Lord will FIND YOU, in your present circumstances. He is El Roi - the God that see you. Turn to Him today and seek His heart on your situation. He will Find you - let yourself be found today!
