Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Genesis chapter 21, verse 5.

Abraham was a hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.

That's quite a verse.

Like, how many hundred-year-old dads of newborns do you know?

I'm guessing the answer is zero.

Like, this is very unusual.

And I would say impossible.

And that's the point.

God is able to do the impossible.

And I think about putting myself in Abraham's shoes for not just year after year after year,

but decade after decade after decade of waiting for this son that God had promised to Abraham. And yet

decade after decade, he found himself wondering when. Like, I don't know how good you are at

waiting and being patient, especially waiting and trusting patiently for God to do the impossible.

But that's the story of Abraham and his wife, Sarah.

And in one verse, Genesis 21, verse 5, it happens.

Abraham and Sarah have this child that God had promised.

I just want to encourage you today with these two truths.

One, that God is able to do the impossible and two, that God is worthy of your waiting.

And even as I say that, those two truths hit home in my own heart in a fresh way in a way that I

need to hear.

So if this podcast episode isn't for anybody else, it is for me.
