A Laughable Promise

9/24/2012

0 Comments

 
   We continue with these promises to Abraham. We have seen God promise Abraham that he would have a son. Abraham believed God (Genesis 15:6). Now we have the Lord appearing again to this family. Abraham does have a son, but not the promised son. This couple are old. They are far past the child-bearing years. Sarah was barren all her life, and she is old, it is now physically impossible for her to have children. So when Abraham tells her what God says she laughs. Of course she does, it is laughable to think that a 90 year old lady who never had children would become pregnant. It would be all over TV, Internet, tabloids, etc today. She would be a freak of nature. Yet God, in an impossible situation, would soon perform a miracle.
   There are times in our lives when we have a difficult time trusting in God because our situation looks so grave. However, God's promises are true, and as laughable as the promise to Sarah was, it was a true promise. God always uses the impossible to show that He is God. When God does something in the realm of the possible then we try to take the credit, but in the realm of the impossible only God receives glory. God would receive the glory for the birth of Abraham and Sarah's baby. God receives the glory in all of His promises!
