Ep88 Sarai's Struggles: A Lesson in Dependence on God, Gen. 16
from Love God First · host Katrin Hagman
In this episode, I explore the story of Hagar from Genesis 16, focusing on the themes of dependence on God, the struggles of Sarai, and the cultural context of her decision to give her maid as an extra wife to her husband. Through Sarai's story we can see how easy it is to try and generate our own human solutions to God's leading and promises instead of relying on God Himself to do what He has promised. This is the first of four episodes where we look at the same story from four different points of view. Keywords dependence on God, Hagar, Sarai, faith, trust, promises, surrender, prayer, biblical stories, personal reflection
