GOD IS ABLE

"And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay, but thou didst laugh."

Genesis 18: 9-15 King James Version

How many times do you and I do this very thing? We know that God is able to do anything, yet in our hearts we doubt it and don’t believe Him. There is nothing that is too hard for God. The hardest thing that He ever had to do for us was giving His Beloved Son, Jesus, to die for us.

Jesus has promised us that He will Comfort, Protect, and Provide for us if we will only come to Him in childlike faith and trust Him. Why is it so easy for us to believe the promises of a person when that person is human and subject to failing us, but not believe the Promises of our Saviour Who will never fail us?

We need to stop laughing and doubting Jesus, and start depending on Him instead of people. Are you doubting Jesus in your heart today?
