2 Corinthians 1:20

Have you ever doubted that something you deeply hope for could happen? Sarah did, too. When God promised her a child in her old age, her response was laughter—filled with disbelief. But Isaac’s birth transformed that laughter of doubt into one of joy, showing that God’s promises stand true despite our limited perspective.

Isaac’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s timing is perfect, even if it seems delayed to us. Like Sarah, we might question or even laugh at the idea of God’s promises coming to life in our circumstances. Yet, through every “Yes” in God’s word, there’s also an “Amen” as He fulfills it, inviting us to trust and wait on Him with hope. Today, let Sarah’s joy inspire you to hold onto faith in God’s timing, for His promises never fail.
