Hagar's Struggle - Genesis Chapter 16 Poem

More about Hagar's Struggle - Genesis Chapter 16 Poem

In Abram's tent, a plan was made,
To have a child, by Sarah's aid,
Her maidservant, Hagar by name,
Was chosen to fulfill the claim.
But Hagar's heart, filled with pride,
She looked down on Sarah, she couldn't hide,
She mocked and taunted, with disdain,
Causing Sarah much heartache and pain.
Sarah, in anger, to Abram cried,
This is your fault, she did chide,
Do with Hagar as you will,
For her insolence, she must fulfill.
Abram gave Sarah, full control,
To deal with Hagar's troubled soul,
Sarah mistreated her, in her plight,
Hagar fled, into the night.
An angel found her, by a spring,
And comforted her, on his wing,
He told her to return and obey,
And promised blessings, on her way.
Hagar listened, with heart now still,
She humbly submitted, to God's will,
She bore a son, as God foretold,
And named him Ishmael, as it was told.
In Genesis, this chapter tells,
Of Hagar's struggle, and how it swells,
The consequences of man's choice,
When straying from God's perfect voice.
So let us learn, from Hagar's tale,
To trust in God, and not to fail,
To submit to His plan, with humble heart,
And let His wisdom guide our part.
