“And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.”
The Lord promised Abraham that He would bless His descendants and He kept His promise. Even though Ishmael was not at the head of the line through which the Lord fulfilled the promise that He made to Eve on the day that she first sinned, He still remained faithful to His promise and Ishmael became the head of a large family of people. These people, along with Isaac’s descendants, survive in great numbers to this very day. This is the way that God always works. He will bless His people even though they choose to go their own way from time to time. God always allows us to experience the consequences of our choices but then He uses these consequences for good in the end.
