God Can Do Amazing Things with One Child
Read: Genesis 18:10-13

Sarah laughed when she learned that God’s promise to Abraham would be fulfilled within the year. She laughed in disbelief that it was possible after her child bearing years were over that she would conceive and bear a child. But conceive she did and that one child, Isaac, was a promise (covenant) fulfilled that Abraham’s descendants would be a great nation. Three major religions – Judaism, Christianity, Islam – trace their lineage back to Abraham. The first two celebrate the lineage through Isaac. God did an amazing thing with one child!

In the birth of Jesus God did an amazing thing with one child. In the life, death and resurrection of Jesus a new covenant was established. When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of our lives, God promises to do amazing things with one child – each one of us. That means that we, you and I, need to be attentive to the amazing things God is doing. Where are you experiencing God in your life? What amazing thing is God doing in and through you?

Prayer: Dear God, I am your child. Please do amazing things in and through me. Amen
