Abraham was 100, Sarah 90, and God shows up with a crazy promise "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son" (Gen. 18:10). Hum, really God? You said that Sarah the 90 year old woman with whom "the way of woman had ceased to be with" is going to have a baby? The tired old lady who has gone through menopause and more than likely quit having sex with Abraham because of their old age is going to have a baby? I think Sarah's response was proper...she laughed at God. But God responded with seven amazing words "is anything too hard for the Lord?" Excuse me, Sarah, maybe you do not remember who you are talking to. I spoke the world into being, breathed life into man, flooded the earth, turned an ocean into blood, split the sea and now giving you a child is suddenly too hard for me?
That time next year God showed up and Sarah bore a son, and she named him Isaac, which means laughter. Isaac was a constant reminder to sarah that NOTHING WAS TOO IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER GOD!
Fight On
