Genesis 16:3
"Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her.” Abram listened to the voice of Sarai."
Key Reflection
This passage highlights Sarai's willingness to trust and obey God through obedience, even when faced with infertility. By suggesting Abram take Hagar as a concubine, Sarai seeks to fulfill her own desire for offspring through a practical solution, reflecting both faith and a pragmatic approach to bearing children, despite the divine promise yet to be realized fully.
