Genesis 16: Lessons and Core Doctrines

Sometimes we get impatient waiting on God to fulfill His promises to us, this can lead to doubt or us attempting to take matters into our own hands rather than waiting on His timing. Without faith we cannot please God, faith requires waiting on and trusting in God. Trust helps us know that God sees us and that He will not overlook us nor withhold no good thing from us. When we don’t trust this shows a lack of faith in His power and may end up in our violating spiritual principles meant to protect us. Sometimes in our fear, doubt, or unbelief we run away from God, which also is not the correct solution. Running away from problems does not solve them. In spite or our failings and even our unfaithfulness, God remains faithfulness, to His name, to His word and to His compassionate nature. He will continue to fulfill His covenant and His purposes.
