Do You Laugh At God
We would probably be quick to doubt if we were told what Sarah had been told. It just does not seem possible to have a child at the age of ninety!
But God kept his promise to Abraham and Sarah. And Issac (meaning “laughter”) was a reminder of how Sarah had laughed at the idea of having a child. Now Sarah was laughing with joy.
It is easy for us to doubt when situations appear impossible. Some things are too far beyond our understanding, but God is not to be limited. The next time we question God, we can remember what he did for Sarah.
The Birth of Isaac
Genesis 21: 1-7
The LORD was good to Sarah and kept his promise. Although Abraham was very old, Sarah had a son exactly at the time God had said. Abraham named his son Isaac, and when the boy was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, just as the LORD had commanded.
Abraham was a hundred years old when Isaac was born, and Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Now everyone will laugh with me. Who would have dared to tell Abraham that someday I would have a child? But in his old age, I have given him a son.”
