Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.” (Genesis 18:11)
If you belong to Jesus, He is sure to give you a task too difficult to do without Him. Just as our Lord did nothing on earth except what He'd seen His Father do, we can accomplish nothing spiritual apart from what we've seen our Savior do.
Our attempts at reaching people for Jesus may be nothing more than popular and corporate methodology — and there is nothing of the raw power of the Cross in that kind of "ministry." You and I, on the other hand, are called to that which can only be accomplished through the power of prayer and patience — through the surpassing knowledge of God in Christ.
Remember, Abraham and Sarah were far past the age of bringing a child into the world, yet they would soon hold Isaac in their arms ("Isaac" means laughter). God laughs at the impossible. Let's laugh with Him.
Let's Pray - Father, help me to take You at Your Word and respond in faith when You speak — especially when it's hard to believe! With You, nothing is impossible, and impossible is nothing! Amen.
AMEN!!!!! Sometimes all I can do is choose to believe and laugh. Laugh because I know HE is the one who is working within me the ability to have strong faith immediately on every occasion. Its exciting at times to watch the Father become victorious in my life. After all He Is a Good good Father.
