The Lord said to Abraham, " Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, not that I am old?"
Genesis 18:13
" By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised."
Hebrews 11:11
Beloved, not every promise from God is received with our immediate faith. Thankfully, the Lord is patient with us.
When Sarah heard the promise of bearing a child, she laughed within her heart, and when confronted with this, she denied it. We struggle to trust our Lord and His promises. We doubt He hears us or is willing to help us. God may help others, but we do not often believe He will do the same for us.
We do not know how long it took or what transpired for Sarah to go from a place of doubt and denial to being convinced God would fulfill His promise. Many of God's children have made this journey of faith. Disbelief turns to a firm conviction that nothing is impossible for God. He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, and the Lord will work all things for our good.
Look to the Lord today. He will be faithful and fulfill His promises.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
