Genesis 18:9-15
Outline
So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, ‘After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?’ Genesis 18:12, NIV
God specialises in turning impossible situations around. This is what He did in the case of Sarah who was barren. She and her husband had advanced in age at the time they entertained angels as visitors and through that, God visited them.
When Sarah received the news however, she doubted and expressed unbelief as she laughed at the announcement of the visitors. Abraham expressed similar reaction in Genesis 17:17. This might be expected because they saw Sarah’s barrenness at old age as insurmountable. It is impossible and unnecessary to hide our feelings from God. We must learn from this experience of Abraham and Sarah that it can never be over until it is over. Age or other human limitations can never constrain God from doing what He is set to do. You shall indeed have that joy, your age notwithstanding.
