“Is anything too difficult for the LORD?”

Abraham knew that he was nearly 100 years old and his body was practically dead,

and that his wife Sarah was too old to give birth (Romans 4:19).

Abraham's wife Sarah was too old to have children,

and Abraham was as good as dead when he was old (Hebrews 11:11-12).

So when God said, “I will surely return to you around this time next year,

and Sarah your wife will have a son,”

Sarah, who was listening at the entrance of the tent behind her,

laughed to herself and said, “I am old and my husband is old,

so how can I have a child?” she muttered.

Then God said to Abraham:

“Why is Sarah laughing and muttering,

‘How can I have a son, now that I am old?’

Is anything too difficult for the Lord?”

I will return to you next year at an appointed time,

and Sarah will have a son” (Genesis 18:13-14).

Sarah became pregnant by faith,

knowing that God was faithful when He promised

(Hebrews 11:11).
