God's backup plans

God had THE master plan for man and then He had many back up plans for when we messed up.

Ishmael was not part of God’s plan; he was Abraham’s impatient interpretation of God’s plan. Yet when doling out blessings, God blessed Ishmael too. God did this because 1) He loved Abraham and heard his prayers; and 2) His grace covers all--absolutely all--of our shortcomings
