Today's Reading: Genesis 18
Today's verse begins with the question, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" This is a rhetorical question, as the answer is clearly "no." God is all-powerful and there is nothing that is beyond His capabilities.
The verse continues by saying, "I [the Lord] will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son." This is a promise from God to Abraham and Sarah that they will have a child, despite their advanced age and Sarah's previous inability to conceive. It is a reminder that with God, all things are possible and that He can do the impossible.
This verse is also significant because it highlights the faith and trust that Abraham and Sarah had in God. Despite their circumstances, they believed that God was able to fulfill His promise and that Sarah would have a son. Their faith is a reminder to us that we too should trust in God's power and ability to do the impossible in our own lives.
This verse also implies God's foreknowledge and sovereignty, he already knew the outcome, and he was certain that Sarah will have a son, the verse gives a sense of time frame for when the promise will be fulfilled. This can give hope and reassurance to the reader that God's promises will come true in his timing.
