Parshat Vayeira, 5th Portion (Bereshit (Genesis) 21:5-21:21)
Genesis 21:5-21 New King James Version
5 Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 And Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me.” 7 She also said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Hagar and Ishmael Depart
8 So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing.[b] 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.” 11 And the matter was very [c]displeasing in Abraham’s sight because of his son.
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called. 13 Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your [d]seed.”
14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and [e]a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba. 15 And the water in the skin was used up, and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs. 16 Then she went and sat down across from him at a distance of about a bowshot; for she said to herself, “Let me not see the death of the boy.” So she sat opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad. Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18 Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation.”
19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad a drink. 20 So God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21 He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
God desires a holy people led by righteous leaders who worship Him faithfully.
Main Theme of Ezekiel 46
Worship must be orderly, reverent, and centered on God, with leaders serving under God's authority rather than exploiting the people.
Leaders are accountable to God and must serve rather than oppress.
True worship requires holiness and reverence.
God's restored people are to live with order, fairness, and devotion.
Even the prince must submit to God, showing that no human authority is above Him.
A beautiful summary of these two chapters is:
"In God's restored kingdom, worship is holy, leadership is just, and the Lord remains at the center of everything."
Prayers:
Dear Father, you are holy, faithful, merciful, and true, oh God. I cling to you today. I cling to you all the days, all the nights, all seasons of my life, God. Forgive me, Lord, if I have believed lies in the spirit where I thought I was marrying Musab. Forgive me, Lord, if I have believed that lie. Help me, Lord, I pray. Please, Jesus. Help me to recover from everything wrong done to me and every wrong thing I've done to others. Forgive me, Lord. Forgive me. I know, Lord, that even my wrongdoing, God, does not disqualify me from what you have promised to give me. And so, Lord God, I pray, Yeshua. I pray, my husband, King. I beg of you, I plead of you, my God. Do not forget me. Do not forget your promises to me. God, please grant me the desire of love. Grant me the thing that I have been asking of from you. That you would give me a husband who loves you more, and he loves me, too. I pray, God, that this man will come this year to my life. Before this year ends, God, I pray that we will meet, and my family will bless my union with him, and that together, God, we will walk. Lord God, according to your plans and your purposes for us. Please, Jesus. I don't want to imagine things, and I am not desiring something, Lord God, just to elevate my pain in this world. There will always be pain. There will always be trials. There will always be tribulation. That's why, God, I cannot, and I don't want to stay here. I want you to be with me. I want me to be with you in paradise. I want to be with you, Jesus. But I want to be with you at the set time you have planned for me to be with you. I want to fulfill the purpose that you have created me for. I want to do things for you, to be fruitful for you, to multiply. But Lord, I cannot do it by myself. I need you, Holy Spirit. Fill me, Holy Spirit. Fill me with your power, with your wisdom, with your truth. Fill me, Holy Spirit, and make me bear fruits. But Lord, "...". Please, Father, shelter me. Protect me. Secure me, my heart. Lord, I am so fragile. Lord, I am needing you every single moment. I cannot be strong, and I am trembling inside. God, I am trembling inside. I am trembling inside because I cannot live this life on my own. Lord, not my family. I am not secure because of the family that I have. You alone can make me secure. Not even a husband can make me secure, God. He is not a solution. He is not an escape plan. But Lord, help me to endure. Help me to endure. Help me, Lord God, to persevere. Because you want all your children to endure, to overcome, to persevere. That's all I want, God. So that I can meet you in the clouds when you come. That's all I want. Even in persecution, injustice, help me to endure. Mistreatment, help me to endure. Jesus, help me to endure Help me to keep trusting you, to keep looking to you, to be secure in you. Help me, Lord. I'm so scared, God. I just want you to reveal and show yourself to me. Make me happy. Make me joyful, God. Thank you, Lord, for every worker who's there for me. Lenny, Letty, Rose, Elsie, Jeff. Jeffrael, I pray, make her strong, healthy, bless her, Lord. And I pray that you eliminate the workers that do not have the heart, like Elsie, Lord. Like Jeff. Lord, I pray that you just remove them, so that they will not make me feel worried all the time. God, even to Katagang Inin, thank you for removing her in time. But Lord, I pray that you will not allow bad workers anymore in Marides. Protect, Lord, the company that you have entrusted to us. We cannot protect it, Lord. We cannot. You alone can protect it, God. There's so much hardship. You know my fears. You know all my fears and all my hopes, God. That you alone, you alone, oh God, are my refuge, my strength, my redeemer. God, take away all my fears. Take away all my pain. Heal me, Lord. Heal me, Lord Jesus, I pray. Heal me. Be kind to me, as you have always been. Don't forget me, God. Heal me, God. Comfort me, God. Comfort me, Jesus. Help me, Lord, to endure. Help me, Jesus. Tell me that you are proud of me. Not because of my own strength and might, but because of your Spirit at work within me, God. Your Spirit at work within me. Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus, for this day that you have made. And Lord, it's a Thursday. I want to go to sleep in crimson once again. Thank you for the good night's rest. Thank you, God. Thank you for a healthier body. Help me to fast once again, like you did before. Help me, God. Anoint me once again. Fresh anointing for this season is good, Lord. I cannot live a day without you. Please understand how much I need you. Please bless all my workers. Please provide for us drivers. Please provide the right people for us, oh God, to help this business, to defend this business. God, even Z cannot, Lord. I don't feel that he can replace Elsie. Lord, I don't know how long Marides will last, but I pray that you would give her a fresh start. I pray that you would just bless her and lengthen her life. I thank you, Lord, that you lengthen, Lord, Kobe and all my dogs' lives. And I thank you, Lord, that even the other dogs who have died are with you, and they're waiting for me. Lord, just know that I don't love this world, and I don't love this life. I pray that my parents love you more than this life that you have blessed them with. I pray, God, that all my siblings will have a true and lasting relationship with you. Every one of us, Lord, will lean to you, and every one of us will be saved. Lord, sorry if my aunts, my cousins, I cannot show them who you are, because they look at my parents and they see the flaws. Lord, I don't want to preach to them, but may my life be a light to them. May they see, oh God, that I am your child. And may they see you in me. Father, even as this bad event is coming of Halloween, I pray a protection in my household, in my family, in my business, in all the territories that you have blessed us with. I pray protection. I pray for peace. I pray, God, that you would just help each of us. Help us, Lord. Lord, I'm asking you to bless my church and let there be unity in the church, and I pray, God, that you just use your servants to speak and minister to me, to Pastor Jonah, Lord, whoever, Lord God, that you choose, Lord God. I pray that you would bring them to my path to encourage me because I'm so weary, God. I really want to come home to you now. I want to come. I want to be raptured. I want to be redeemed from everything I've been going through in this world. I really want to more than marriage, God. But Lord, if it takes long, please don't forget. Don't forget what you have promised me. Please take care of my pastors. Bless all of them, Pastor Timmy, Luis, Bernie, Marlin, Dr. Mike, Nelly, Pastor Jonah, and everybody, Lord, who is praying for me. Elsie, Cherry, Ness, everybody, Lord, I pray. Bless each one. May I have favor, Lord, in the eyes of man and in your eyes. In the name of Yeshua. In the name of Yeshua, may you always be glorified in my life. May you continue to bless the helpers. Thank you, Lord, for the new workers. Thank you, God, because you're so faithful, and you're here with me, strengthening me, giving me your grace and your mercy. In the name of Yeshua. Amen and amen
