Laughing our heads off

Laughing our heads off


Gen. 18:13-14
And the Lord asked Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, [laughed with doubt AND delight]

saying, Shall I really bear a child when I am so old? [thinking ‘this is too good to be true’; as a result couldn’t as yet find in her heart to believe it]

Is anything too hard for the Lord? [Whose power is immeasurable and beyond all belief, that it can never be thought it can be done by Him?]

At the appointed time, [that specific time which exists in-between regular time and a moment of an undetermined period of time in which something unique and special happens]

I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son. [God’s love reaching out to remove Sarah's unbelief, encouraging her faith in the divine promise]

Pray the Word:

Lord, we, too, go through our doubting times as Sarah did where it’s hard to believe the things You have divinely promised us. During those times, It’s hard to keep our fleshly side in its place – but It is not too hard for the Lord! It seems hard to be sweet, gracious, forgiving and loving when down inside us we know how devious, unpleasant and perverse we want to be. It’s hard for us - but it is not too hard for the Lord! There’s some task that You are now asking of us that appears impossible to perform and seems hard us -  but it is not too hard for the Lord. Help us to believe in the midst of our own seeming impossible situations . . . . .  if You have promised it to us - nothing is impossible with You!
