“And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away.”(Bereshit 21:14)
Sarah’s handmaid had a son with Abraham, his name was Yishmael, he was a very rebellious and was not a good influence to Yitzchak. Sarah asked Abraham to send him away. G-d said to Abraham “listen to your wife and do as she says.”
Although Avraham was acting against his own wishes he woke up early to fulfill H”S will.
Many times in life we have to do things that are not what we want to do. Whether you like doing something or not should not be the reason you don’t do it or you do it. Rather ask yourself,”what is the proper thing to do right now?” Once something is the proper thing to do, act with alacrity and enthusiasm that comes from an inner acceptance of the importance of doing the right thing.
