The angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. And he said, Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going? She said, I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai. Genesis 16:7 ESV
Hagar wandered alone in the desert. She had always done what she was told, but now it had become too much and she had ran from the painful life that she knew. She was pregnant, having to care for herself, and far away from where she should have been in life.
Hagar means a stranger; one that fears. She was an outsider in her own house. The Angel of the Lord found her lost in the desert and told her to return and submit because God had plans for her and her unborn child. She did everything wrong, but God found her and took care of her. God spoke of her future and took her mind off the pain in her past. She broke down and called the Lord, You are the God who sees me.
If you miss the Lord, He will find you. We often worry too much and ask, Is this what God wants me to do? until we get paralyzed and do nothing at all. You cannot steer a car that is not moving, but once it starts moving, then you can correct its course.
When we get stalled in life, we pray and then try and make the best decision. Sometimes it ends with, Lord, unless you tell us no, then we are going to do this. When you get off course, He will bring you back with a word (Isa 30:21).
If you feel that the Lord wants you do something but you have been held back because you may be wrong, or you have run away from it, know that He will always find you. The Lord seeks out those that are lost.
