Genesis 18:13-14 –
<13> Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’ <14> Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”"
As we know Abraham and Sarah will have be the seed of the nation of Israel. Why at 90 would someone think that was not possible?? I would laugh too … even knowing the time-line before Noah, as far as people living hundreds of years.
You have to realize God is big and powerful … when he does things purposefully he wants a WOW factor, so people realize it was God and not chance. This is where my faith gets strengthened, by knowing my prayers, knowing how my life has gone and knowing statistics and probability. I cannot imagine stuff happening in my life the way they have by chance.
Probability applies once and a while … but after a while you realize it’s not just dumb luck, especially when you look at timing. I know a mathematician could talk rings around this .. and justify “chance” … when it comes to chance what side of the “IS there a God?” question do you want to be on. You can justify there is not one … but do you really want to learn there IS a God when it’s too late??
Read, pray and observe … you’ll see God daily!!
