June 15th: Genesis 21:1-7
Genesis 21:1-7
It had been YEARS since God promised Abram/Abraham that he and Sarai/Sarah would have a son. It was hard to believe that it was even possible, but with Abraham being 100 years old and Sarah 90 years old, they finally did have a son!
And what did they name their son? Isaac, which means "laughter!" It was a fitting name for their son because Sarah had laughed at the thought of having a son at so advanced an age.
God kept His promise. It didn't happen in the timing Abraham had anticipated, but it happened according to God's timing.
The birth of Isaac was important because it was the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that he would have a son, but also because Isaac continued the line of Abraham and from that line, Jesus would be born!
