What wonderful words! After twenty-five years of waiting, plotting,and human scheming by Abraham and Sarah the entire perspective changes. Now we hear from God!
I notice a couple of major points here.
2 – The Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken
Several times Abraham and Sarah and tried to sort things out their way. Every human effort failed and only made things worse. Now – God acts according to what He says.
Isn't it a great comfort to know that God does what He says he will do for us? If God says it we can trust that it is true and that He will do it. It may not be according to my plan, or the way I want to see it done, or according to my time frame, but God will act as He has spoken.
Why is it that we fail to grasp this? Why do we want God to act as we say instead of as He says? Because our ways our not His ways, our thoughts are not His thoughts. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are His ways than our ways and His thoughts than our thoughts.
God says that His word will not return void.
God says that we will reap if we faint not.
God says that all things work together for good, them those who love God and are the called according to His purpose.
Do we believe that? Can we trust God to do as “He had said?” Did God love Sarah any more than me?
May we trust God in every situation to do “as He had said.”
