Waiting on the God Who Sees

Main idea: Wait on God who sees rather than putting your hope in false saviors.

Which promises of God are you waiting on Him to fulfill in your life?

1. Don’t put your hope in human efforts. (Genesis 16:1-6)
   False saviors:
   
   • Human solutions (efforts of the flesh) – “it may be that I shall obtain children by her”
   • Human significance – “Sarai became of little account in Hagar’s eyes”
   • Human sight (revenge) – “Do to her what is good in your sight… Sarai dealt harshly with her”
2. Wait on God who sees! (Genesis 16:7-16)
   
   • Look to Jesus (the Angel of the Lord) – He shows up.
   • Listen to God’s promises – He speaks.
   • Lean on God who sees & hears – He sees us.
