Lesson from our Session…………………………..
TUESDAY
(Genesis 18:11) Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Inspired by God, Moses emphasized in three ways that God’s plans for Abraham and Sarah were humanly impossible. They were “old.” They were “advanced in age.” Moreover, Sarah no longer produced the eggs that would be needed for her to conceive a child, which is “the manner of women.” Moses wanted to emphasize that Sarah knew what God planned was impossible the way she and Abraham were physically because of their old age.
Lesson: God’s timing is always perfect (Gen. 18:9-10; cf. 17:16; 21:2)
Reflection: Perhaps our real struggle with understanding God is accepting His timing. God doesn’t think like we think and years matter little to Him. His timing serves His will and not our own. God can accomplish what He wants in our lives if we are willing to leave the timing to Him.
