—Genesis 16:1-6

When we try to take things out of God’s control, they just don’t work out. Sarai took the situation into her own hands and tried to “fix” God’s timing. When her plan worked, she wasn’t any happier with things. She was probably less happy than when she and Abraham were childless. When things aren’t working the way we want them to, we need to be very cautious about how we react. We should spend time in prayer and seek out God’s will. We may not always understand God’s timing or plan, but his ways are higher than ours.
