A devotional reflection on Sarah’s long wait for God’s promise of a son.

Bible Characters

God’s timing is perfect even when the wait is long. Sarah waited many years for God’s promise, struggling at times with doubt and impatience. Yet God remained faithful, fulfilling His word in His perfect time. Sarah’s story reminds us that waiting is not wasted when God is at work.

Is any thing too hard for the LORD? (Genesis 18:14)

And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said. (Genesis 21:1)

Through faith… Sarah received strength. (Hebrews 11:11)
