The Angel Answers

“Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” Genesis 18:14

The funny thing is that we don't know unless our Lord tells us the answer to this. We can however make a decision on it. God introduced Himself to Abram again in Genesis 17:1, "I am Almighty God..." Now, the Lord our God is all mighty, and thus nothing is impossible or too hard for Him, or He is lying and something is too hard for Him, or He is a loony and several things are too hard for Him but He is in denial. You have heard the same choices offered by C.S. Lewis regarding our Lord. So, is anything too hard for the LORD? We who believe Him and take His word as truth would say, "No! Absolutely nothing is too hard for our Lord!"

But, what one angel asks, another might answer centuries later, or maybe it was the same angelic messenger come to inform a descendant of Sarah.

"Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:36-37

Yes, we have our answer, but the decision remains the same. We believe and receive the message, both question and answer, or we refuse to believe and remain condemned by unbelief. Well, there it is! I choose to believe through His Holy Spirit and for God nothing is impossible - including it seems enabling a doubter such as me to believe in that which I cannot see.

Thank You, dear Lord God, for enabling my heart to believe!
