Day 6: Chronological Bible in One Year🙏
In Genesis 18-21:7, we see the unfolding of God’s faithfulness, justice, and mercy in profound ways. In Genesis 18, the Lord visits Abraham and Sarah, reiterating His promise that Sarah will have a son, despite her old age. Sarah laughs in disbelief, but God’s response—"Is anything too hard for the Lord?"—reminds us of His limitless power. The long-awaited son, Isaac, is promised at an appointed time, teaching us that God’s promises are fulfilled according to His divine schedule.
In Genesis 19, we encounter the story of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction. This event reveals God’s justice against sin but also His mercy in sparing Lot and his family. Despite the corrupt world around him, Lot was shown favor because of his relationship with Abraham. However, the story also serves as a warning against the consequences of straying from God's path, as Lot’s wife looks back and turns into a pillar of salt.
Genesis 20 records another instance of God’s protection over Abraham, even when he falters by lying about Sarah being his sister. Despite Abraham’s shortcomings, God intervenes to preserve His covenant promise.
Finally, in Genesis 21:1-7, the long-awaited promise is fulfilled. Sarah, who once laughed in disbelief, now laughs with joy as Isaac is born. The birth of Isaac is a testimony to the fact that nothing is too difficult for God. His promises, though they may tarry, will surely come to pass.
These passages remind us that God is both just and merciful, and His promises never fail. Even when we doubt or falter, He remains faithful. No circumstance is too hard for God to overcome.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for being the God who fulfills Your promises. Help us to trust Your timing and believe that nothing is too difficult for You. May we walk in faith, even in the face of doubt, and hold on to Your word with steadfast hope. In Jesus' name. Amen.
