Genesis 18:14

Genesis 18:14 reads: Is anything too hard for God? I'll be back about this time next year and Sarah will have a baby." (The Message)

Three angels came to Abraham to confirm God's promise that Sarah would have a son. When these three men appeared, Abraham rushed from his tent, greeted them and bowed low to the ground. He fed them, gave them water to wash their feet and let them rest. They talked to Abraham about Sarah giving birth to a son and, Sarah, who was listening, started to laugh because she and Abraham were very old. And how could she have a baby at her age?

Sometimes we have long roads to travel or heavy loads to carry and we want to quit or give up and put a stop to everything. But whatever it is we are going through, we MUST NOT quit, no matter how hard it is. God will step in for us as He knows when the right time is.

So, is anything too hard for God? No. Did Sarah have a son like God promised? She did. This story teaches me that if I give up, I just might miss the answer to my prayer of healing.
