And Sarah said, "God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me."—Genesis 21:6 (NKJV)
At this age, the idea was so ludicrous and unthinkable to Sarah, that she
laughed in unbelief, at the promise of the Lord, when it was delivered
(Genesis 18:9-15). But when God, in His own good timing, does eventually bless her to conceive,...Sarah's testimony is a sweet one: "God hath made me to laugh." The
laugh of unbelief had been turned into a laugh of overflowing,
uncontainable joy. She determines that she will, in fact, tell others of
her great deliverance so that they can rejoice with her. The book of Hebrews tells us that her settled
conviction became one of trust in the Lord and in His promise.
In His own good time,...God turns our sorrow and unbelief into joy and exultation,...with the mercy and goodness.
Lord, even when we can't see how, or know when, You will do for us,...help us to accept that; You Will Do It, as You said. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
"Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can,...for all the people you can, while you
can."
