Genesis 18:11-12 [11] Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah. [12] So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?” The God of the impossible There’s an old hymn that says, ‘God moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.
He plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. Deep in the dark and hidden mines, with never-failing skill, he fashions all his bright designs and works his sovereign will.’ The point is that God’s ways will often confound us. His ways will not always make sense to us.
That was Sarah’s experience. She wondered how a woman well past the age of child-bearing could nurse her own infant. And yet, that’s exactly what God wanted. Sarah needed to know that this would be God’s doing.
Her faith needed to hit the gym and be exercised. We can conclude that God will often take us right up to the edge of ourselves so that we can trust in him; a God who does the impossible. He calls us to venture into the unknown, where all we can do is cling to him in hope and trust even when we can’t quite figure out what his hand is doing. You can trust God today. He does the impossible.
