The Israeli minister of defense said 3 days ago that they are preparing for war. and then said if they go to war with Iran that most likely Russia and Turkey will counter attack on the side of Iran. This is spoken about in Ezekiel as the battle of Gog and Magog. Very striking that this is so closely tied into the end times. Prophetically spoken a few thousand years ago and now taking place before our eyes. 

 

Genesis 18:12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

 

Sarah laughs… at Gods promise and then again at the angels that speak of this miraculous child…

Why does she laugh?

Does she laugh because of Abrahams lifestyle… he has handed her over to rulers in the past 25 years a few times saying she was his sister… So maybe she is thinking my Husband who would rather toss me out to the sharks is going to get me pregnant?

OR

Is is because she is past child bearing age… she no longer has her menstrual cycle and it seems absurd.

OR

She laughs because she knows that Abraham is enamored by Hagar and the son she has bore for him.

OR

She laughs thinking that her husband who is even older than her could now perform in bed and maybe even  the thought of any type of passion is simply silly.

OR

Maybe she laughs simply because a child at this point is absolutely ridiculous 

OR 

She laughs at the thought of her womb which has been closed for years… could possibly be fertile ground

 

But why ask why?

Sarah laughed… and I guess I can’t really blame her given the circumstances… but what about Abraham- NOW HERE IS THE REAL STORY! 

 

Romans 4:20-21 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

 

Abraham never doubted… you say but he had sex with his servant to get a son… but that was because Sarah pestered him to do it. She knew Abraham wanted a son, she knew time was ticking away and Abe was probably not going to be having to many more high fives in the bedroom. She asked him to do it. He did it not because he did not believe God was not going to come through, but rather to shut up Sarah.

 

How did he continue to believe after all these years? I guess the same way he believed when God told him to take his only son Isaac up on the Mountain and sacrifice him… believing well God will either bring him back to life or again get Sarah pregnant again.

HE HAD FAITH BECAUSE IT WAS A PROMISE FROM GOD.

His faith in Gods promise strengthened him. 

And he gave God the glory before it ever came to pass.

Lets dumb it down in case you missed the point.

While Sarah was laughing

Abe was believing in Gods word

Trusted his word and was strengthened by trusting

Bragged to God about God and what would happen to God - and then gave him praise before it ever happened.

 

Thats the formula for faithful living!
