He has it right.

It kind of makes one think- Hashem told Sarah Imanu and Avraham Avinu that they were going to be parents. While I love them both, if only they had some faith and had NOT gotten Hagar involved and brought about Ishmael, none of this would have happened. But, everything is from Hashem.

Everything is from Hashem for the purpose of correcting midot. It doesn't make sense in human logic to judge a guy of over 100 years old for not thinking that Hashem was going to send his barren wife of about the same age a son, but we can take one lesson that whatever Hashem tells us, we have to have to trust him. Lack of emmunah seems like the cause of every problem we have with Ishmael, so after we take what Hashem has to give us, we must use it.
