FOCUS ON WOMEN - SARAH (with Joshua Maponga)

Description

Sarah (originally named Sarai) was one of several women in the Bible who were unable to have children. That proved doubly distressing for her because God had promised her husband Abraham that he would be the father of the Jewish nation. She had to wait for 90 years to have a baby, Isaac. Sometimes we feel like God has placed our lives in a permanent holding pattern. Rather than taking matters into our own hands, we can let Sarah's story remind us that a time of waiting may be God's precise plan for us. Waiting for God to act in our lives may be the hardest task we ever face. It's also true that we can become dissatisfied when God's solution does not match our expectations. Sarah's life teaches us that when we feel doubtful or afraid, we should remember what God said to Abraham, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (Genesis 18:14) Sarah's Strengths were clearly seen in the manner in which she treated her husband and son, Isaac. She was obedient to her husband Abraham. Even when he passed her off as his sister, and she ended up in Pharaoh's palace, she did not object. Sarah was very protective of Isaac and loved him deeply. However, Sarah's weakness was that at times, she doubted God and had trouble believing God would fulfil his promises. She plunged ahead with her own solution. All rights reserved.
