Promise 54 Gen. 21:13

Gen. 21:13 - "And of the son of the maid I will make a nation also, because he is your descendant." God has assured Abraham that he wouldn't have to worry about Ismael, a year before Isaac was born, but at this time of difficult decisions, he needed to hear that assurance again. Sometimes we forget the assurances God gives us. When stress arises it's easy to get caught up in the moment. But God is faithful, He will remind us of His promises, presence and provision in the midst of those stressful times, we just need to make sure we quiet our hearts long enough to receive those comforting words from Him.
