What a comforting message we have here. There was a problem with Hagar and Sarah. in v.9 God tells Hagar to go back to Sarah. Hagar was having trouble with Sarah. She did go back because now she knew God's will. It appears Sarah was the problem. We may have to be around people who don't like us in order to accomplish God's will. Especially in the work place. Hagar went back. She was blessed with favor and good things come our way when we are in God's will. Moses hung out with a people who wanted to stone him--his own people. Mercy is a great thing as we live around those who don't like us. God gives us more attention in those times to comfort and bless us.
I have experienced this myself. Never knew so many people were standing with me in my hard times. it is all grace. It was when things were going wrong that I found how much they cared. He brought them out of the closet so to speak. The steps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord--even if they make mistakes. He keeps us on track.
