Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him.
Sarah said, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me." (Genesis 21:3, 6)
Finally a time for the Abraham family to rejoice. To have a hearty laugh.
If, Abraham when 99 and Sarah 89 were asked when they had really enjoyed laughing and rejoicing from the depths of their hearts, they would have said, "If only God's promise had materialized, we could."
The one thing they desired was the one thing that was withheld and it caused a lot of heartbreak, anxiety & tensions.
Now with the evidence of the promise in their hands, they laughed and even named their son Isaac which means "he laughs".
Sarah even imagines people talking and laughing;
"Oh, Sarah, she's finally a mom."
"Sarah & Abraham, they finally did it."
"Wonder what took them so long."
When the promise takes a long time to materialize, the joy it brings when it materializes finally is something just out of the world.
Have you been waiting for God's promise to materialize? Do you feel God is doing nothing about what he promised you?
Even when you don't see any signs of the promise being fulfilled, remember, God is at work.
Jesus said,
"My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." (John 5:17)"
You are going to laugh like Sarah & Abraham when the promise is fulfilled.God bless.
