1/15 Genesis 18

Brothers and Sisters,
This week, we are starting with the book of Genesis, chapter 18.

As Sarah laughed to herself not believing in what is going to happen, God spoke

"Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Shall I really bear a child, old as I am? Is anything too marvelous for the LORD to do? At the appointed time, about this time next year, I will return to you, and Sarah will have a son."

Nothing is impossible to God. For human is not possible, everything is possible to God. We are to learn obeying God's call. Although they might seem to be ridiculous and impossible to us.

The story turned 180 degree. We come to see how merciful God is. Abraham's repeating challenge to God's intended plan for the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. Arguable Abraham is not obeying God's will. Deep down, this passage shows the kindness of our God. He is willing to spare the whole city for one single good person.

Let's praise to Lord our God for he is kind and merciful.

in Christ,
Dan
