Happy Mother’s Day!
Today I would like to look at one biblical mother named Sarah
So we see that Sarah could not believe what she heard
Some people want to say that Sarah didn’t have much faith
Sarai, as she was originally called, is found following her husband in faith
She didn’t know where they were going or what they were supposed to do
But she did not protest; she followed where God told them to go
We can learn a lot from this mother
God could choose to show us everything planned for us up front
But, He doesn’t
So many of us are hesitant to step out on faith for any reason
What we can learn from Sarai/Sarah, it is most important to just go
I sometimes wonder how many people remain lost today due to our reluctance
In our text today, we are critical of Sarah because she laughed at a miracle
Most of you ladies in here could relate that, at an old age, childbirth would be impossible
All things are possible with God
Vs 1 says “the Lord did for Sarah as he had promised”
You see when we take that step of Faith God honors that
Sarah, at 99 years of age, gave birth to a son
I know what you are thinking
“I’m so glad that wasn’t me”
But for Sarah, God was faithful and He always is
Again, what we see is, even though Sarah doubted…
God blessed her
What we need to take away from this is, God is able
Knowing God is able, we need to trust Him and be faithful
One of our biggest problems today is we don’t fully trust God
We don’t want to step out on faith, but you never know when God will use YOU.
Sarah, after seeing the miracle that God did, said “God has made laughter for me”
“Everyone who hears will laugh with me”
When we are faithful, all those who are around us are lifted up too
Do you truly trust God?
Are you ready to do that right now?
