Todays reading was from Genesis 17. God had already promised Abraham a son. But lots of time passed and still no son. I love this one part in verse 17. God had just spoke to Abraham and said it was going to be through Sarah, Abraham's wife that he would have his son. I love "real" people, people not afraid to show who they are...faults and all. Maybe this is why I like this part in 17, "Abraham fell facedown, he laughed and said to himself, 'Will a son be born to a man 100 years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of 90?'" Abraham had just been reminded of the promise God had given him earlier...that he and Sarah were going to have a son, and all he could do was laugh. "You're going to do WHAT God? Yeah right." Sometimes God may speak to us and say "this is what I am going to do through you." And sometimes our only response is to laugh and say "yeah right". But in those times, it is important to remember what Jesus said in Luke 18:27, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” I pray we all believe God for something big today.
On a more random note, I LOVE great quotes! So here are a few that speak to me :)
" What is impossible with man is possible with God."
-Jesus
