THE GOD OF GENESIS: God Makes Mistakes Beautiful

When it feels like nothing is getting done, sometimes we like to take control. Abram and Sarai are no different. They take control of the situation. Their plan is to take advantage of a servant, to get God’s blessings rolling. The result? A familial disaster that would plague their family for the rest of time. But when Hagar is cast out of the house with her child whom Abram and Sarai had determined was a mistake, God saw them, and blessed them. God makes mistakes beautiful.
