No Laughing Matter

Genesis 18:10-12 (NKJV)
10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) 11 Now Abraham and
Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.[a] 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

How many times have you thought what you really wanted was just too late? A dream or vision that you held onto for years just didn’t seem like it would come to pass. A God given promise or passion that burns deep within, but because of external issues you think it will just never manifest. . Perhaps you think your financial situation is too bad for you to get that loan, or because you don’t have enough people in your corner to help you. Maybe you are like Sarah and think you’re too old to start that business or go back to school. By all accounts everything in your life may point to the fact, that your opportunity has passed.

Yet there is one fact that we cannot ignore in the face of all that we see!

God’s promise supersedes everything else!! Why? Because faith triumphs facts!!!

Yes, all of these variables may exist in your life but when God has given you a promise, you can rest assured it will come to pass!
The problem is oftentimes like Sarah, we laugh at what God says can happen because we are stuck in disbelief! Stuck in where we’ve been, stuck in how we feel, and stuck in what others say. We say with our mouths we trust God, but in our inner minds we have doubts. Doubts that the enemy tries to use against us to keep us from becoming who God called us to be, and from doing what God has called us to do. Like Sarah we make the mistake of getting to a place where we give in or give up, causing the promise to be delayed or worse, we try to make it happen on our own.
As beloved children of God we must fully believe in the reminder and declaration found in Jeremiah 32:27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?

There is nothing in this universe that God cannot bring to pass in your life. Our responsibility is to line up our sight with what God says and live in expectation. Instead of expecting what we you see to win, expect what God has says to be manifested.

Instead of laughing in disbelief at the possibility of it being true, laugh along the journey as you watch God demolish every fear and thought bringing his promises to pass in your life.
