Genesis 18:13-14...God Can Move Mountains...

Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’  Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

Sarah was very old, well beyond her childbearing years. She had been promised a son by God but it seemed as though this would never be fulfilled. The Lord appeared to them once again and reassured both Abraham and Sarah a son would be forthcoming, more precisely in the very next year. I imagine Sarah was like many of us and just could not wrap her head around giving birth at such an age. We are prone to adhere to conventional wisdom when things seems impossible or outside of our understanding. We default or retreat to the idea that the mountain before us is too high to scale or impossible to go around. This attitude posed the question that we as Christians relate to quite often, “Is anything too hard to the Lord/“ We all know the answer so why do we hesitate to believe it when we are faced with impossible circumstances? Our faith needs to be bold, unswerving and steadfast in our Lord. He can overcome anything, conquer everything and direct our lives for HIs benefit. Nothing is too hard or impossible for God. Exercise faith and prayer and live in hope.
