Hagar to be Wife of Abraham

Hagar to be Wife of Abraham

When Sarai sees that her husband desires offspring and she is barren she decided to give Hagar. She tells her husband Abraham to go in into her handmaid. Which he does and married her.

How would you feel being a handmaid to go in into your mistresses husband and become his wife? Or would you be able to tell your husband to do that very thing knowing the love you have for him? Whatever way you feel or would react could you be willing to be a pawn in God's hands to bring about offspring? 

Do you think contention started off early on between Hagar and sarai because of the marriage?

In life we feel that there are choices that we make that we have no control over. Just like I see Hagar here in her situation. She was given away to be another's woman's husbands other wife. We go along in life wanting to make our own hearts desires. We at times feel like some of those choices because we happen to be in the situation we are in become some sort of  unconscious choice. There is a saying that goes somewhat like this  " in life we either make our choices for ourselves or someone else will make that choice for us. Making it a choice because we decided not to give our input" 

So as we sit upon the fence deciding whether in our life we want to follow God or follow the devil.  having one foot in hot water and the other in cold because we feel safe we are making a choice. That choice can then effect the rest of our lives our offspring because of the fact we decided we would let another make the decision for us. Instead of doing what we truly feel in our hearts. Eventually it comes down to one day everything is made for us until we decide that is not the way we want to live and fight back for what values we truly hold gaining the self respect inside ourself gaining control over our own lives and decisions.
