I had not heard the term “baby daddy” till a few years ago. Oxford defines is as “the father of one or more of a woman’s children, especially one who is not her
husband or current partner” and “she doesn’t feel the pressure to wed her baby daddy” (lexico.com).

As a society, how did we get to this point? Is it the removal of God from schools? Is it our despicably enabling social welfare? Or is it just that life is tough?

I know of one young girl for whom life was tough. Before she knew what happened, she was pregnant. Her mark was part of a childless marriage. And, as vile as this may seem, the wife had orchestrated the whole sick mess. But the bigger the young girl’s belly grew the more jealous the wife became. Soon the young girl fled the hostile situation. But, with no way to fend for herself, she ended up in a wilderness by a spring. It was there that God found her and told her to humbly return.

God does not turn His back on us. No matter how bad or vile the pit may be that we end up in. Realizing this Hagar replied:

Genesis 16:13 (ESV) So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks
after me.”

Friend, have you lost hope that things would ever get better? Right now, turn to God and notice that He is lovingly looking at you. And then reach out to a member of His Summit Church (Romans 16:16) or join us each Lord’s Day to discover His message for you.
