Have you ever looked at something that seems impossible to accomplish? MOUNT EVEREST was that to a lot of people who wanted to conquer it but wasn’t conquered until a man by the name of Sir Edmund Hillary became the first man to reach the top on May 29, 1953. I want to write about the impossible mission today. There was a lady by the name of Sarah that had reached her golden years, but God had promised her husband that they would have a son. It wasn’t long before Sarah and Abraham had realized that they both had eaten a few birthday cakes and blown out way to many candles and there was still no son and they both had lost their hope of the promise from God. Then the news came and what news it was; unbelievable.
Genesis 18:10 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.
Genesis 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Genesis 18:11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Genesis 18:12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Sarah’s first response was to laugh; why did she laugh? Well, she was old and well stricken in age and what it took for her to be a mother was gone. So she laughs! God says I’m going to roll the years back and what you thought was gone; well it’s back. Let me paint the picture so I can show you what we think is impossible is possible with God. There sat Sarah 90 years old and toothless. She snores when she sleeps maybe because her mouth is wide open and she is about as fruitful as a pitted prune. God says I want to do a makeover on you and He does. See what you think.
Genesis 20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Genesis 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Why wouldn’t Abraham say that Sarah was his wife? Remember she’s 90 years old who would be interested in her for her beauty? The king sends and takes Sarah; does he need glasses. Oh no, don’t you remember what God said “I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life “that’s why the King was interested in Sarah, this 90 year old woman had become an eye opener; even her beauty had opened Abraham’s eyes. I can hear him now hot dig idée dog. So what we think is impossible today God may have different ideas.
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
