Oh, I'm so sorry. As I have entered my 70's, I recognize that I need to keep my eyes focused forward all of the time. Had a fall in July and tore my right quad tendon which required surgery because I wasn't paying attention to the ground in front of me. Still healing after 6 months. Be careful!

With hesitation I write: I know in our culture men learn to always answer, “Yes Dear”, but Abram should have gone to God (just as Sarai should have). Of course he liked the idea of being with Hagar. But he should have done the godly thing and said No to Sarai. He was (just like Adam) the head of the marriage and therefore ultimately responsible for the consequences of taking the matter into his own hands (or bed). I love that our reward is “I Am.” Good lesson.
Something to remember is that even though Saraí had the idea to have a child by Hagar, Abram, as the spiritual leader of his family, should have said no, we will wait on God because He has promised and He cannot lie. Because Abram did not take the spiritual leadership, he is guilty as Sarai said.
Thanks as always, I enjoyed this lesson with you
Excellent teaching. Thank you for reaching so many.
