Day 2: Sarah – Strength to Wait on God’s Timing

Scripture: Genesis 18:9-15

Key Verse: “Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” – Genesis 18:14

Waiting is one of the most challenging tests of faith. Sarah knew this struggle well. She had waited years, even decades, for a child, watching time slip away, and with it, her hope diminished. When the angel of the Lord told Abraham she would have a son within the year, Sarah laughed in disbelief. How could such a thing be possible?

God responded gently but firmly: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Human limitations do not bind his power. Though Sarah had doubted and even tried to take matters into her own hands with Hagar, God remained faithful to His promise. Sarah gave birth to Isaac at the appointed time, a reminder that God’s strength is not just in the miraculous but also in sustaining us through long seasons of waiting.

Remember that God's timing is perfect if you are waiting for a breakthrough. Delays are not denials. His strength carries us even when our faith wavers, and He fulfills His promises in ways that far exceed our expectations.

Prayer Focus: Ask God for patience and trust in His timing. Surrender any doubts or frustrations, and ask Him to strengthen you as you wait for His perfect plan to unfold.
