Hebrews 11:11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.

As your children grow up and leave home you are left with a longing to have them back; but that is nothing compared to the longing for a child should you not have one!

Abraham and Sarah had long past child-bearing age and yet God visited them to tell them they would soon be having a child. At first they were unbelieving but that quickly turned to faith as they waited patiently.

God will always deliver on His promises!

Genesis 18:14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Although we may begin to accept that God can do anything, we do expect Him to do things according to our own timeframe; we expect Him to answer prayers when we want and to do what we want!

God has given us enough examples in our history for us to realise that He answers according to what He knows is best and according to His times and not ours.

When the Lord said to Abraham that his wife would have a baby it was certainly not in their times because they thought they were both well past having children – but with God it is possible!

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible.

Another aspect of the impossible (as seen by man) being made possible because God said so!

God is just and has never lied to us; that means we can trust in every single thing that He has said. Everything that God has said has or will come true because everything that He has said is a promise to us.

I have learned to trust in all the things that God has given us through our bibles because I see them come true. I know people have their own agendas and I know the truth is always pushed or stretched; but not so with God.
