July 7

Introduction

The LORD appears to Abraham, and Abraham is told by his three visitors that he and Sarah will have a son. 

Scripture Reading 

Genesis 18:1-15

Today’s Key Verse: Genesis 18:14

[The LORD said:] “Is anything too hard for the LORD? As I said, nine months from now I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

Reflect

How does Abraham show hospitality to the three visitors? Why does Sarah laugh when she overhears what is told to Abraham? Recall yesterday’s reading (Genesis 17:17) when Abraham also laughs when God says that he and Sarah will have a son. We read today in verse 14, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” Have you ever experienced God’s intervention when confronted by a situation that seemed impossible to endure or overcome?

Pray

God of all possibilities, nothing is too hard or impossible for you. Strengthen my faith, and when trials come my way, remind me to place my trust in you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen. 

Prayer Concern

Those preparing for the birth of a child.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Genesis 18:16:-33: Abraham pleads for Sodom.
