Genesis 16:1-3

Genesis 16:1-3 shows us an example of that day’s version of a surrogate mother. It also shows a lack of faith in God. In all fairness to Abraham and Sarah were just showing a normal human weakness that shows up when God timing not only is not ours but makes no sense to us. Note that that Hagar was an Egyptian suggesting that she was acquired during their time in Egypt. So their earlier failing to trust God, helped lead to this one.
