And He said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind Him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And He said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. (Gen 18:10-15)
Abraham has matured in life and in his faith, and the time is right for GOD to manifest the next generation according to the promise. He visits Abraham and during the meal, promises that despite their advanced age, they will have a son. This so surprises and elates Sarah that she laughs. GOD who knows all, confronts her, not to condemn, but to grow her in her faith in Him. He then teaches both of them about Himself, and what He is going to do. Everything came to pass just as our Lord had promised.
We can trust that nothing is too hard for GOD to accomplish. His will, good, perfect, and acceptable will be done, in His time. He is able to do more than we can imagine, and the more we study about Him in His Word, the more we learn of Him, and the more we learn to trust and obey Him and His Word. Trust Him to prepare the hearts of those we meet and obey His command to preach the Gospel to every creature. Trust that He will be with us wherever we go and obey His command to go and tell, and as we go, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary for forgiveness of sIn and Salvation.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Receive Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He calls you to surrender to Him on His terms, turning away from your sIn and unrighteousness, that you may receive the righteousness of GOD in Him through faith in what He has already done on that cruel Roman cross. Our GOD is Sovereign, all-powerful, and all-knowing, who keeps His promises, and He offers you forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ. Trust and Obey Him today.
