God promised a son to Abraham & Sarah in their old age.
Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” (Gen 17:17 NIV)
- Sarah was 90 years old when she conceived Isaac.
- Her womb was literally ‘raised from the dead’ in order to conceive the child of promise.
(see supporting verses)
- Isaac was promised…Jesus was promised…the land of Israel is promised.
- Like Abraham, let us be fully persuaded that God Almighty will fulfill His promise by sending Jesus back to rule as King, not only in Israel….but over the whole world!
Prayer: Gracious Father, I thank you for Your great and precious promises whereby I may become a partaker of the divine nature… by your mercy…. in Your Kingdom…at His coming. In Jesus name. Amen.
Supporting verses: Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead–since he was about a hundred years old… and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. (Rom 4: 19-21 NIV)
