"See what happens when you take matters into your own hands" Genesis 

Abraham and Sarah were childless and now in their old age though that it would be impossible to have children.  With man it may be impossible, but with God all things are possible. God had appeared to Abraham and promised that he would have a son and that he would be the father of many nations, Genesis 15. However, as time went on, Abraham had no children. His wife, Sarah, had been unable to conceive, and they began to question just how long the promise would take to be fulfilled. God made the promise to Abraham and Sarah. In Genesis 16 Sarah suggests that Abraham should have a child with her slave Hagar, an Egyptian. Apparently, this was a somewhat common practice at the time, perhaps an ancient version of surrogacy. While this may have seemed like a workable solution for Abraham and Sarah, in actuality it caused more problems than it solved. “See what happens when you take things in your own hands”, Hagar did conceive a child with Abraham, when she knew she was pregnant, she began to “despise” Sarah, and Sarah appealed to Abraham for help. Abraham told Sarah to do as she saw fit, so she began to mistreat Hagar, and Hagar ran away.
