Genesis 18:13

God's Word

The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Can I really have a child now that I’m old?’

See the chapter Copy

and didn’t need anyone to tell him about human nature. He knew what people were really like.

And so Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, “Now that I’ve become old, will I enjoy myself again? What’s more, my husband is old!”

Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will come back to you next year at this time, and Sarah will have a son.”

Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.

Who would have predicted to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet, I have given him a son in his old age.”
