God, my Deliverer
Abraham gazed at the clear desert night-sky, mesmerized by the velvety expanse shimmering with countless twinkling gems spread majestically across the blackness. He reflected on God’s promise— children like the stars!
The hopelessness of the situation burdened him. He and Sarah had been unable to bear children but God promised him, he would be the father of nations.
Abraham’s days were filled with distracting activity but his nights were haunted by doubts and desperation. Sarah had laughed— in truth they both had laughed. How could a man near a hundred and a woman ten years younger bear children? Interrupting his loneliness came the question, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Genesis 18:14.
We have all been challenged by seemingly impossible situations— even for God. We may currently be dealing with feelings of pessimism or abandonment by God. Take heart! Abraham’s story proves that God sees and in His own time, He always comes through. He knows our needs and as Jehovah Jireh— the Provider, He will step in and do what is needed to right the situation.
Dear Lord, my options are exhausted. There seems no acceptable solution to my situation. Give me hope in Your loving faithfulness and Your impeccable timing. Amen
