Genesis 18:14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.’

I cannot imagine what went through Abraham’s and Sarah’s minds when they heard they were going to be parents at their age.

Most of us would be happy to be able to reach that age, never mind having a child then too!

But, with God, all things are possible. Not only was He going to enable Abraham and Sarah to have a child, but they would be able to look after that child and bring him up properly!

We don’t have to take shortcuts for God to be able to do miracles in our lives – just trust and wait!

Philippians 2:14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing

How many times have your parents told you to get on with something without all the complaining, grumbling or arguing?

I can remember a few people in my past who have told me this; not knowing this came from the bible!

God does not want us to just roll over and accept everything which happens – God wants us to stand up for Him and do what is right.

Let God guide you today and do what He asks!

Acts 7:41 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought sacrifices to it and revelled in what their own hands had made.

It sounds such a silly idea – to put all your wealth in a pile, melt it down to make a statue and then worship the statue you made...

This is what we get up to in our daily lives. We take our wealth and use it to build up things which have no real value and spend our time doing things with them instead of what is real in life!

God wants us to remember to focus on what is real and true. Don’t lose focus on God just because life gets to seem overwhelming!
