Gen 21:15 | MHM | STEP | v. 15-16 : In the wilderness, their water ran out, and Ishmael became weak and sick (Genesis 21:15-16 ). Hagar was so sad and desperate that she placed Ishmael under a shrub and sat far away, not wanting to watch her son die. She cried and forgot God’s earlier promise that Ishmael would become a great man (Genesis 16:10-11 ). It is easy to lose hope when things look bad and to forget God’s promises.
