I am 81 years old and a little confused as to where your two stories were leading. My guess is you are saying trust in God and let things work out. It’s his plan not ours. Too often we think we know more than God. I find my greatest reward when I let go and let God….Thanks for your thoughtful reflection.

Thanks for your reflection. It has helped me to know that even when we become impatient and do things our own way, God still comes at His own time to show us what He wanted for us

I’ve always been a huge admirer of Abraham (despite getting Ishmael which was not God’s plan for him) the fact that he waited all those years for Isaac while continuing to lean on God is remarkable. And I gather inspiration from him in my own life, while I patiently wait on the Lord for something I have been praying for. But what really struck me was the line “Ismael’s birth has complicated Abraham’s agreement with God” and I believe this is true. Many a times we take decisions over matters that we feel ‘need’ to be done ‘now’. And it goes against societal norms, if we don’t act in that manner or if don’t act now. But, if we decide to follow our own plan on what we ‘think’ is right, we also have to be brave enough to accept the repercussions that will follow (and it definitely will) for going against the plan that God laid out for us.

I enjoyed your reflection…because I sincerely believe that all happens for God’s purpose and our well-being if we wait and learn to be patient. All in God’s Time should be our motto….we may not get everything we want but we do receive everything we need when trusting Jesus, Our Lord.

Great reflection John. The “little light”, you shine on the scripture is truly reflective. God’s time really is The best. Thanks
