Where is God in Times of Crisis?

Scripture: Geneses 16

What created this crisis between Abram, Sarai and Hagar?

1. Impatience with God
2. Jealousy
3. Abram’s lack of leadership in his marriage
4. Sarai so mistreated Hagar that she fled

Two questions to ask when running from a crisis. (Verse 8)

1. How did I get here?
2. Where am I going?

Two necessary responses when running from a crisis (Verse 9)

1. Go back and face the situation
2. Go with the promise God gave you

Encountering God in times of crisis (Verse 13, 14)

1. Hagar, “You are the God who sees me.”
2. Hagar, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
3. Give it a name to remember the experience. “Beer Lahai Roi”
