WILDERNESS
(Genesis 21:8-21)
Jealous Sarah pressed:
Abraham had to expel
Hagar and the boy.
Reassured by God
Abraham sent Hagar off
with their son. To die?
In the wilderness
death seemed inevitable
but God promised life.
In wilderness times,
when life, hope seem all but gone,
God’s promise remains.
