—Genesis 18:9-15; 21:1-7

First, Sarah laughed at God (v.12). Then, she said people would laugh with her (v.6). How much can change in one short year! We know that Abraham was 100 and Sarah almost as old. In 1% of their lives, they went from heirless, to fulfilling God’s promise for the future of a nation and kings—99%. That is how much Sarah felt like she was losing by. But all it took was one year. The one year God had ordained for Isaac to be born. Like Psalm 31:24 says, “Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the Lord.”
