Day 28 - (Today’s Bible readings: Genesis 22, Psalm 27, Matthew 13:44-58)
“And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him. Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac.” (Genesis 21:2-3 ESV)
“Twenty-five years after the promise was given, a child is born to Abraham and Sarah. His name is Isaac, ‘he laughs,’ calling to mind the past laughter of his parents and describing their joy upon his birth. The parents needed patience and faith as those 25 years came and went.
How impatient we can become when things do not go as we think they should, even over short periods of time, even when God has clearly promised that all things work together for good. But God is faithful, even when our patience and faith fall short. He has delivered the greatest of His promises, to give salvation and everlasting life to all who believe in the Lord Jesus.” (The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009, page 46)
Heavenly Father, keep me patient and faithful while You carry out Your plan for my life and my salvation. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
