Devotional June 22: And Hagar Makes Three (or More) Part 3
I honestly believe that Hagar is the hero in the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar. As I discussed previously, it was Abraham and Sarah’s lack of faith and patience that caused them to request Hagar’s help in getting Abraham a son. However, they actually did not request it, did
