...God promised to give this one-hundred-year-old man and ninety-year-old woman a baby boy, and He knew how to kindle the spark to perform it. The Bible doesn't mention Abraham and Sarah's intimacy at this point, but you hear it in their laughter. Sarah denied laughing, but the Lord said, "Nay, but thou didst laugh."
Genesis 17:16 And I will bless her and give thee a son also of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
"Is there anything too hard for the Lord? Sarah will have a son," God said.
When it didn't happen right away, they lost faith. Sarah wanted Abraham to have a child with her bond womsn. That mistake created the Muslims. But Isaac, the chosen one, was born at the appointed time. Friends and relatives mused and chuckled.
God is faithful.
