Fights

* Luís Alberto Alves

In times of struggle, sometimes we make the mistake of doubting God's ability. We think He has forgotten us and we are before the lions to be devoured. Meditate on the situation of Sarah, as described in the book of Genesis, chapter 18, verse 14, when the Angel of the Lord told her that after 12 years she would be pregnant.

Imagine a barren, ninety-year-old woman promising to be a mother in a 12-month gestation! She is the only woman in the history of the world who has borne a child in her belly for 1 year! And Isaac was born perfect. When Sarah smiled when she heard the prophecy made by the Angel of the Lord, she got the following answer: "Is it impossible for God?"
