Sarah

Sarah was Abraham's wife and shared his long journey of trusting God's promises. For many years she had no child, despite God's promise that Abraham's family would become a great nation. When visitors announced that ninety-year-old Sarah would finally bear a son, she laughed at the impossible news. The promised birth showed that human age and delay could not prevent God from fulfilling His word. Sarah also lived through Abraham's separation from Lot, the rescue of their captured relatives, and the destruction of Sodom. Her story joins doubt with fulfillment: she did not always understand how the promise could happen, yet she became part of the family line God had described. Her laughter captures both the difficulty of belief and the wonder of receiving what seemed far beyond hope.
