The Bible but Make it Gen Z: Genesis Chapter 21 πŸ‘Άβœ¨
Fr fr, the baby update just dropped:
God came through with that promise to Sarah no cap! She literally got that pregnancy buff at 90 years old. We love a God who keeps his word fr fr. πŸ’―
Abraham and Sarah had their son exactly when God said they would (divine timing is never wrong bestie). They named him Isaac (which means "he laughs" - God's got jokes fr fr). Abraham did the circumcision thing when Isaac was 8 days old, keeping it πŸ’― with that covenant.
Sarah's out here living her best life: "God really said 'make them laugh' and did that! Everyone's gonna be like 'no way she had a baby at 90!' but here we are! Catch these receipts!" πŸ‘‘
When Isaac got old enough to stop drinking milk, Abraham threw the most fire party ever. But then the drama started...
Sarah caught Ishmael (Hagar's son) throwing shade at Isaac, and she was NOT having it. Sis went full mama bear mode: "They gotta go. Ishmael's not sharing the inheritance with my son Isaac, periodt." πŸ’…
Abraham was big sad about this because Ishmael was his son too. But God slid into his DMs like "Don't worry king, let them go. Isaac's the one I made that viral promise about. But I gotchu about Ishmael too - gonna make him a whole nation because he's your son."
So Abraham had to do that sad parent thing - gave Hagar and Ishmael some bread and water and sent them on their way. They were wandering in the desert giving major lost vibes, ran out of water, everything was looking mad bleak. 😭
Hagar couldn't even watch her son struggling, left him under a bush and went to cry somewhere else. But God said "NOT TODAY" and sent an angel to check on her: "Why you crying sis? Don't worry, I hear your son. Get up, take his hand - I'm gonna make him famous fr fr."
Then God said "open your eyes bestie" and BOOM - there's a whole well right there! They got that water refill and lived to tell the tale. Ishmael grew up in the wilderness, became that archer main character, and his mom got him a wife from Egypt.
Meanwhile, King Abimelech (yeah, that one from before) pulled up to Abraham like "Respectfully, you're clearly blessed. Let's make a treaty - promise you won't bamboozle me or my kids." Abraham was like "bet."
But first Abraham had to call out Abimelech's servants for yoinking his well. Abimelech was like "this is literally the first I'm hearing about this?" So Abraham brought some sheep and cows, and they made it official. He set aside seven special lambs as proof the well was his.
They called that place Beer-sheba (which means "well of the oath" - they love those meaningful names fr fr). Abimelech and his army general headed back to their hood, and Abraham planted some trees and kept vibing in Philistine territory.
And that's the tea! From miracle babies to family drama to political alliances - it's giving everything fr fr! ✨
