After the birth of Isaac, both Sarah and Abraham fail to treat Hagar and Ishmael with kindness. In fact, Sarah seems to hate them both, and Abraham does little to provide for either of them. God is different. God chooses to intervene and protect them both. When they are at their lowest point, having lost hope of even living to see tomorrow, God provides. Why? Among others reasons, it is because God is the God of the downtrodden, the lost and forgotten, the outcasts and rejects. Why? Because God's love and mercy delights in it.
