Isaac is Born

And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age. Genesis 21:1-7

Steps 3, 11, 12

In fulfillment of God’s promise Sarah is granted a child, even though she is past menopause. Abraham is 100 years old and he is granted the ability to father a child, all in harmony with God’s promise. God sends the child and Sarah names the child Isaac – laughter. God named the child laughter because Abraham and Sarah both laughed at the absurdity of God giving them a child past the time when science said it could be done. None the less God’s word is higher than science.

Prayer for Today: God, help us to believe that what You say You can do, even when science says it can not happen. You have said that You can heal us of our addictive lifestyles and we want to hold on to that promise like Abraham and Sarah did for a baby. Do in us what can not be understood, grant us victory over ourselves. Thank You for Your power and grace.
