圣经灵修版
神能成就不可能的事。我知道,也明白,但好像总有些地方舍不得交托给神……
21:1-7 谁会相信亚伯拉罕到一百岁,还能生孩子,并把他抚养成人呢?但做“不可能的事”是神每天的例行工作。当我们面对重大问题时,只要让神来处理就易如反掌了。
要信靠神的应许!说就容易,有时我实在怕得太厉害了……
21:6-7 神重申应许、两位使者到访和主亲自显现后,撒拉终于带著惊喜欢呼生下了儿子。她曾经因怀疑、忧虑、惧怕而失去在神奇妙应许中的平安。要使愁烦变为平安喜乐,惟一的方法就是专注于神的应许上,相信他必会成就他的应许。

以撒出生(21:1-7)
11. 恐怕直到“耶和华照他所说的给撒拉成就”,使撒拉怀孕之
后,亚伯拉罕和撒拉对应许之子的信心才真正坚固起来(21:
1)。
12. “到神所说的日子”,以撒出生了。亚伯拉罕和撒拉为孩子
起名叫以撒(“他喜笑”)并在第八日行割礼;在此显明了他
们的信心。当时亚伯拉罕100岁,撒拉90岁。此时的笑是因
着喜乐,因神成就了不可能之事(21:2-7),应许之子降
生了。
