Your Isaac Is Coming

Abraham is now 99 and Sarah is 90 years old. God sends 3 men with a very important assignment. The angles ask where is Sarah your wife?" He said, "In the tent." One said, "I'm coming back about this time next year. When I arrive your wife Sarah will have a son." Sarah was far past the age of having babies and "she laughed." He asks, "Why did Sarah laugh?" Sarah denied she had laugh to the man because she was afraid. (9-15)

Do we believe that nothing is impossible with God? Up to this point, God has spoken the promise to Abraham. Sarah may have heard her husband talk about what God has said, but this time she heard it with her own ears, "I will return to you about this time a year from now. At that time your wife Sarah will have a son." (10)

You might have been waiting on your dream, the vision, the promise that God has given you for years. "Hope deferred will make the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." (Proverbs 13:12) niv

God says,"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." (Eccl 3:1) We don't choose the season that God brings the promise to pass; we can't demand God to bring our baby to pass at our choosing.

Strawberries don't produce in Florida in June; rather they are sweetening by the cooler temperatures in February. "God's ways are higher than our ways, and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts." (Ish 55:10)

If you and I could make our Isaac baby come, it wouldn't be a miracle from God. Isaac's come because God creates the miracle. Have you been waiting on a spouse, a home, a new job, and an Isaac ministry? It's worth waiting on God to bring your Isaac.

When you and I get ahead of God we end up settling for an Ishmael. Those are the things that we make happen because of our lack of confidence in God and our lack of patience in the wait. Don't settle for anything less than God's best for your life. Allow him to make things sweet in His time.
