7 June 2026—FAITH TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE—SARAH
As I began writing this series about FAITH totally based on the 11th chapter of Hebrews, I knew I would be writing about both men and women. SARAH is the first woman mentioned, and this is what is written: “By FAITH SARAH herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him FAITHFUL who had promised” (Hebrews 11:11).
God had promised Abraham a son in his old age, and when SARAH overheard the promise, she laughed in unbelief. However, she came to the point of understanding the will of God, conceived, and gave birth to Isaac. A part of God’s promise to ABRAHAM and SARAH was that their descendants would be “as many as the stars of the sky in multitude — innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore” (v. 12).
As we look at SARAH’S FAITH, we see not only the birth of a nation, ISRAEL. We also see the foundation laid for the birth of the MESSIAH, JESUS, THE CHRIST, our LORD and SAVIOR. Some might say, “Oh, if SARAH had not BELIEVED, God would have used another way.” BUT she did BELIEVE, and we have a SAVIOR, and because we have a Savior, we have ETERNAL LIFE.
Child of God, SARAH was a great example of a woman who not only lived by FAITH, but TRUSTED God to fulfill His promise to them as a couple. God found you, and you received Jesus Christ as your SAVIOR and LORD. Now is the time for you to take the limits off your thinking and begin BELIEVING for all the promises He has given you.
“Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You” (Jeremiah 32:17).
