Sarah the Entertainment of Holy Men
Sarah the Entertainment of Holy Men
How would it be to be told to prepare for meal for holy men at your door? Then to be told being in old age being barren that you will carry a child? What lessons can we learn from Sarah in this situation?
Abraham sees that there are holy men coming towards his tent. Calling out to Sarah his wife he asks her to make meal for them. In this circumstance we see that she is a host to these holy men. We also see her willingness to serve others. How can we entertain those who come to our house in holiness to the lord? Can we treat them as though they deserve the best as though the lord was with them.
As she is making meal for the holy men we get to read that they ask where Sarah his wife is at to abraham? Abraham replies she is in the tent. With an ear length of hearing what is being said they tell Abraham that she will conceive and bare a son. As she hears these words she laughs to herself and thinks she is beyond the age of childbearing and that it is impossible. They respond and ask if she laughed and she denies it and they tell her we know that you laughed. They also say what seems impossible is possible into the lord and when they returned it would be about that time she would concieve.
what she teaches here is that what we feel is impossible and if it is God's will it can be made possible in his time. How many times do we sit and pray and feel a prompting or even get a blessing and we don't believe what is told to us. We have miracles happen. The things we have little faith in. What can we do to believe the Lord's words better? What can help us move forward to take On tasks that we feel impossible? God has a path laid out just like he did with sarah. Even when we struggle with situations laugh as though we feel it is so impossible to be done. We feel at the bottom of the pit hard to get out yet the lord sees us like he seen Sarah even though she was past childbearing he still held to his end of the bargain with abraham. We laugh inside and ask how is that possible? Yet like the holy men said to Sarah nothing can be impossible unto the lord. If only we could have more faith and a willingness to believe in the things The Lord impressed upon us maybe we wouldn't feel like we would struggle with the trial at hand. The Lord wants us to be able to trust him even if things seem impossible.
