—Galatians 4.21–5.1—

To understand this section of scripture better, I encourage you to read Genesis, chapters 15, 16, 18 and 21.

Genesis 18:21 says: Then one of them said, “About this time next year I will return, and your wife Sarah will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening to this conversation from the tent nearby. And since Abraham and Sarah were both very old, and Sarah was long past the age of having children, she laughed silently. “How could a worn-out woman like me have a baby?” she thought. “And when my husband is so old?”

Genesis 21:1 (But) the Lord did exactly what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant, and she gave a son to Abraham in his old age. It all happened at the time God had said it would. (Vs. 6) And Sarah declared, “God has brought me laughter! All who hear about this will laugh with me. For who would have dreamed that I would ever have a baby? Yet I have given Abraham a son in his old age!”

So. The question of the day becomes this:
WHO WOULD HAVE DREAMED…WHO WOULD HAVE DREAMED SOMETHING SO AMAZING?
God would have, and still does.

Maybe the road ahead is uncertain, maybe your vision is cloudy, and maybe you even doubt like Sarah did.

But hold fast, young people.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 says that God has a plan for you. Plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray He will listen. If you look for Him in earnest, you will find Him.

Treasure this in your hearts.
