Genesis 16:8-9 KJV
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
God sees all things. He knew what kind of situation Hagar
had run away from. He knew she had been dealt with harshly. Despite her hard situation,
He told her to go back.
He told her to not only go back, but to submit herself to
her harsh master. She wasn't supposed to go back and fight for better
treatment. She was supposed to go back and submit.
Many Christians think that if they aren't happy, they aren't
supposed to stay in a situation. They think God would want them to be happy.
However, we see here that happiness isn't what God desires. Sometimes He allows
us to go through difficult times. We must be obedient and follow Him wherever
He sends us.
