Today’s Scripture
The LORD kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. – Genesis 21:1, NLT
Today’s Word
When God told Abraham and Sarah that they were going to have a baby, they were way past the age of childbearing. As time went by, with no sign of a child, Sarah told Abraham to sleep with her maid, thinking that way they could have a baby. But that wasn’t the promised child. God didn’t put the promise in someone else. He put the promise in Sarah, but she was discounting herself. “I’m too old. There’s no way.” She had to quit counting on someone else to make it happen.
Finally, at ninety years old, she gave birth to Isaac. God will put promises in your heart that seem impossible. Thoughts will tell you all the reasons it can’t happen. But how do you know that God is not going to do something extraordinary, uncommon?
God put the promise in you, not someone else. You have to do as Sarah did and recognize who you are. You’re gifted, you’re talented, you’re valuable, and you’re fearfully and wonderfully made. You have the favor of God to see the promise fulfilled.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that what seems impossible always remains possible with You. Thank You that You have put promises in me that are part of Your plan and purpose for me. I believe that You have given me favor beyond what I’ve imagined, so that I can become who You say I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
