God's Promise to Abraham and Sarah

What are some things that you have had to wait for? A special pair of shoes that you have wanted? A new outfit? A certain toy? A cell phone? A special trip or vacation? Waiting can be difficult at any age. We often times become impatient and want things right now. However, God asks that we trust Him; that we remain patient. He promises to hold true to His word just like he did for Abraham and Sarah and blessing them with a child after years of waiting. God knows our needs. Nothing is impossible for God.


Bible Text: Genesis 18:1-15, 21:1-7

Key Verse: Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son. Genesis 18:14
