    Sarah’s journey from barrenness to motherhood demonstrates God’s faithfulness. Though she had moments of doubt and impatience, she ultimately trusted God and became the mother of nations. Her life reminds us that God’s promises never fail, even when they seem delayed.

     | 17,447 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty-One. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 21 Isaac is born, is circumcised and weaned. At Sarah's request Hagar is driven out; to whom, ...read more
