Summary
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
GENESIS 16:1-6 - Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar. 2 And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Go in to my servant; it may be that I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. 3 So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife. 4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress. 5 And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!” 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your servant is in your power; do to her as you please.” Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.

| 0:00.0 | Hello my friends, Carrie Green here. Welcome back to the morning mindset. Hey, I have a question |
| 0:09.1 | for you. Are you a good weight or not, meaning serving tables, but are you good at weighting? |
| 0:16.6 | When you know something's supposed to happen, but it hasn't, are you good at that? Are |
| 0:20.7 | you patient? Are you, one of those people can weight or we're going to dig into what |
| 0:26.2 | makes for a good weight or in today's episode? Friends, waiting for something to happen reveals |
| 0:34.0 | aspects of our character. Have you ever noticed that there's traffic lights waiting in line, |
| 0:41.1 | waiting for that promotion at work or the recognition you deserve? We get all anxious |
| 0:45.1 | and frustrated and sometimes just very angry when we have to wait. And it's because we're |
| 0:50.7 | focusing on the wrong things. We look to the future, oftentimes with such hopefulness that |
| 0:57.5 | we forget that the moment we are in matters for God's kingdom and for eternity. Today in |
| 1:04.6 | Genesis 16, one through six, we are going to read about this in the life of Abram. It says |
| 1:10.3 | now Sarai Abram's wife had born him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose |
| 1:16.7 | name was Hagar. And Sarai said to Abram, behold now, the Lord has prevented me from |
| 1:23.2 | marrying children. Go into my servant. It may be that I shall obtain children by her. And |
| 1:30.6 | Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. So after Abram had lived ten years in the land of |
| 1:36.0 | Kenan Sarai, Abram's wife took Hagar the Egyptian her servant and gave her to Abram her husband |
| 1:42.7 | as a wife. And he went into Hagar and she conceived. And when she saw that she conceived, |
| 1:49.1 | she looked with contempt on her mistress. And Sarai said to Abram, may the wrong done to me |
| 1:54.9 | be on you. I gave my servant to your embrace. And when she saw that she conceived, she looks |
| 2:00.3 | on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me. But Abram said to Sarai, behold, |
| 2:07.6 | your servant is in your power due to her as you please. Then Sarai dealt harshly with her and |
| 2:13.4 | she fled from her. Now friends, this is a very twisted situation, isn't it? I mean, we just have |
