IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?

 

1. Abraham entertained three strangers (1-8)

After renewing the covenant through circumcision and name-change into

Abraham, the Lord appeared to him in the form of three strangers. Abraham was

99 years old. He was resting under the heat of the day. He could have ignored

them. Instead, he hurried to meet them. He did not realize who they were at first.

He pleaded them not to pass him by. He then like a young man hurriedly ran to

Sarah and the servants. He gave a selected tender calf to cook quickly. Heb 13:2

comments that some people entertained the angels without knowing it. How

beautiful it is for the whole families to serve strangers with their whole heart as

heavenly pilgrims.

 

2. Sarah will have a son (9-15)

Then the Lord pronounced to give a son to Sarah in a year. But when Sarah

overheard it, she laughed to herself. It was because she has passed the age of

childbearing. She said, “Will I really have this pleasure after I and my master were

worn out and old?” The Lord rebuked her confirming, ‘Is anything too hard for the

Lord?” No! Nothing is impossible for the Almighty God! Our God is “the God who

gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not” (Romans?4:17).

 

Prayer Lord, nothing is too hard for you. Let me have faith in you.

One Word Have faith in God!
