—Genesis 21:9-13

How difficult it must have been for Abraham to send his son Ishmael away! God, however, assured Abraham that he would take care of Ishmael. Abraham had little choice; he put his trust in the Lord and sent Ishmael and Hagar on their way. As a mother, I worry many times over the “what if’s” that may effect my children as I send them out into the world each day. In reality, worrying accomplishes nothing. It is time on my knees, giving my children over to the Lord’s care and trusting in his plan for them, that will make the eternal difference and give me peace.
