GOD WILL HEAR

Daydream 

Lord empty my mind affected by civilization's:
Affronting annoyance of angry voice aggravation,
Heated horns honking honing a momentary impression,
Bitter bullies bludgeoning babies for brief glorification,

ISHMAEL - GOD HEARS

Lord guide me, mold me, what shall I do?
“My messengers always with you,
Rest and refresh by life’s spring,
Daydreams are tomorrow's prelude,
You are doing fine, I will hear you.”

ISHMAEL - GOD HEARS

Amen.

Ishmael, whose name means “God Will Hear,” was a man for the wilderness and his life and trials give us the border understanding of the wilderness.  The wilderness is a place of refuge, a place away from bombarding human voices and pronounced agendas.  The wilderness is another place, a holy place, a place of clarity, a place of confidence that God will hear.

Now the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.  And He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
She said, “I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.”
The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.” Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.”  And the Angel of the Lord said to her:
“Behold, you are with child,
And you shall bear a son.
You shall call his name [d]Ishmael,
Because the Lord has heard your affliction.
He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”  Genesis 16: 7-12
