“And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.”
When the water in the skin is gone, Hagar puts the boy under one of the bushes. The water runs out before they reach safety. The inadequacy of Abraham's provision has been exhausted, and Ishmael is near death. Psalm 46:1 describes God as a very present help in trouble. The application: God's provision often comes after the skin is empty. The moment when human supply is exhausted is often when divine supply becomes most visible.
