11-3-24, Pastor Tim Baker "The God Who Sees", Genesis 16

As we move to chapter 16, the amazing narrative of Abram's heroic rescue of Lot and his noble covenant ceremony with God himself fades in the rearview mirror and we are brought to a dismal part of the story, one laced with a lack of faith and filled with moral failure. So it is in our lives, as our walks with the Lord move steadily from height to depth, victory to defeat, joy to sorrow and back again. This story of Sarai and Abram taking matters into their own hands, resulting in trouble and sorrow, leads us to an important question: What is God's role in our troubles? What does God do when we take matters into our own hands and try to help his plans move ahead? Ultimately, this passage tells us that He is a God who sees.
