Greetings to you, dear friends!I am so happy to have this opportunity to share the Word of God with you today. I would like us to look at a story about Sarah, Abraham’s wife. Here we’ll find another very important principle of faith.
„And He said, „I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.” (Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, „After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” And the Lord said to Abraham, „Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ „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, 18:10-14).
This story is very interesting because it talks about so many of us today. So very often we pray and pray and expect God to move, but, seeing no signs of changes in our situation, many of us accept it as the will of God and lose every desire to keep expecting a miracle. Possibly, a man won’t tell others that he does not believe in his miracle anymore, but inside he will say it loud and clear. That is what happened to Sarah. She did not say anything out loud, but inwardly she laughed, because she had decided that it is impossible. This laughter revealed to God what was happening in Sarah’s heart. She was asked then: „Why did Sarah laugh?” Sarah did not expect such a turn of events.
God asks us this very important question just like He asked Sarah and we have to pay attention to it: „Is anything too hard for the Lord?” This question is so crucial because how we answer it will determine the measure of God’s involvement in our lives. This question helps us to realize that how much we know about God affects the level of our faith.When a person believes that there is nothing impossible for God, that person has a particular attitude towards life, a particular reaction to hardships, a particular spiritual attitude that appears when he or she runs into difficult problems that do not change for a long time.Is anything too hard for the Lord? Are there any situations in your life which the Lord cannot change? Are there any situations in your family, your ministry, your church, or your relationships which the Lord cannot change? Is there anything that God cannot change? No! There is nothing impossible for the Lord!Do not give up! Do not give up your faith in God’s miracle for your life! Keep believing that God will alter your situation and your circumstances. This is the time when you need to go on believing God and then those things that seem humanly impossible will change. Today God desires for you to believe that there is nothing impossible for Him.Despite the fact that Sarah laughed, God still promised to come back at the appointed time and that Sarah would have a son. The seed – her son – was the promise given by God to Abram a long time ago. We must not lose faith in the promise given to us by God despite the situation and circumstances around us.Keep praying, keep working on the promises, keep sowing them like a seed, keep watering them through right confessions. Keep expecting that in due time everything God promised you will come to pass and you will be able to give birth to these promises, just like it happened to Sarah. Remember that there is nothing impossible for God!
It says in the Word of God that“the things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke, 18:27).
May God bless you today!
