Hagar
The Lord’s plan for His daughter
Hagar was Sarah’s servant. Sarah was old and had no children. She told her husband, Abraham, to marry Hagar so they could have children. Abraham and Hagar got married, and soon Hagar was going to have a baby.
Hagar and Sarah started being unkind to each other. Hagar chose to run away into the desert.
As Hagar traveled, she became very tired and thirsty. At last, she came to a place with water and rested there.
The Lord knew about Hagar’s troubles and had a plan to help her. He sent an angel to ask her to go back to Abraham and Sarah. He promised that Hagar’s family would grow. He said the baby she would have was a boy and that she should name him Ishmael.
Hagar trusted the Lord and obeyed the angel. She went back to Abraham and Sarah. Hagar had her baby boy, and his name was Ishmael. Hagar knew that the Lord was watching over her.
