Faith

Is anything too hard for the Lord ? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” (Genesis 18:14 NKJV)

Good lesson today. To look back a little, this is talking about Abraham and Sarah and The Lord blessing them with a son. Reading back in the scriptures it says that travelers came upon Abraham and he saw them and ran to them. He said Lord stay here and let me serve you. (Daniel's paraphrased version, read the actual scripture). It also says that The Lord told Abraham that he was going to have a son and Sarah, his wife, over heard and laughed and said she was to old to have a son.

I think this is awesome because The Lord new that Sarah laughed and said she was old. He knew before she even thought it. Sarah was thinking physically and bodily. She wasn't thinking supernaturally. God is a BIG God. He can do what ever He wants and when ever He want. When He says something we have to take it for exactly what it's worth.

We also have to remember who is speaking. God is speaking. Hebrews 11:1 says,"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV)" this tells me that we have something greater to have hope in and through the evidence that He provides we can have faith in Him.

I look at it in a simple way, you breath air, you can see air, but its there. You have to have it to live and breathe. Same thing with Christ, He is there, everywhere, and you have to have Him to live, eternally.
