Hagar
The Lord’s plan for His daughter
Hagar was Sarah’s servant. Sarah was old and had no children.
She told her husband, Abraham, to
marry Hagar so they could have children.
Abraham and Hagar got married, and
soon Hagar was going to have a baby.
Hagar and Sarah started being
unkind to each other.
Hagar chose to run away into the
desert.
As Hagar traveled, she became very
tired and thirsty. At last, she came to a place with
water and rested there.
The Lord knew about Hagar’s
troubles and had a plan to help her.
He sent an angel to ask her to go
back to Abraham and Sarah.
He promised that Hagar’s family
would grow.
He said the baby she would have
was a boy and that she should name him Ishmael.
Hagar trusted the Lord and obeyed
the angel. She went back to Abraham and
Sarah. Hagar had her baby boy, and his
name was Ishmael.
Hagar knew that the Lord was
watching over her.
