Gen 21:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17-18 : God heard Ishmael’s cries and sent an angel to speak to Hagar (Genesis 21:17-18 ). The angel told her not to be afraid, because God heard Ishmael where he was. The angel reminded Hagar of God’s promise to make Ishmael a great nation. God’s help does not mean we do nothing; Hagar had to get up and care for her son. We should take action while trusting God for help.
