Faithfulness According to God | Genesis 21:1-34
This week we will explore Genesis 21:1-34, Faithfulness According to God.
FINALLY! After many, many years and many, many heartaches and doubts, Isaac (aka Laughter) finally arrives!
Sarah is overjoyed! She sings in amazement at God's faithfulness!
Abraham is overwhelmed. He holds his son in his arms with unfathomable awe.
But all is not well.
Isaac's birth brings turmoil into the family. While Sarah laughs with joy, Ishmael and Hagar laugh in mockery.
Abraham is caught in the middle.
Genesis 21 is a chapter filled with laughter and anger, joy and heartbreak, delight and desperation.
Just like most of our lives today.
But God remains faithful! Through the ups and downs of life, He is the steady Rock. His goodness gives us reason to rejoice, His power carries us through times of pain, His mercy meets us in our desperation, and His peace gives us peace.
In the midst of the storms and the waves of emotion, may our eyes be fixed on Him!
