Genesis 17:15 God said to Avraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are not to call her Sarai [mockery]; her name is to be Sarah [princess]. 16 I
will bless her; moreover, I will give you a son by her. Truly I will
bless her: she will be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come
from her.” 17 At
this Avraham fell on his face and laughed — he thought to himself,
“Will a child be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah give
birth at ninety?” 18 Avraham said to God, “If only Yishma‘el could live in your presence!” 19 God
answered, “No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you are to
call him Yitz’chak [laughter]. I will establish my covenant with him as
an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 20 But
as for Yishma‘el, I have heard you. I have blessed him. I will make him
fruitful and give him many descendants. He will father twelve princes,
and I will make him a great nation. 21 But I will establish my covenant with Yitz’chak, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.” -------
As I read our Bible verses for today, I can see that God had a plan for Abraham and Sarah. God planned to bless them by giving them a son and many descendants.
I know that God has a plan for every person. I have seen this clearly through my youngest son. When he was three years old, he said he wanted to grow up and be a firefighter like his father. Later, my son started reading books about being a firefighter.
Today my son is a firefighter. God helped him and encouraged him as he was growing up. Some people have asked me why I allowed my son to have such a dangerous job. But I knew that this was God's plan for his life.
God has a plan for your life, too. Read His Word and obey it. Then ask God to guide you every day and help you do things that please Him.[Bonnie Hall]
"In Christ we were chosen to be God's people. God had already planned for us to be his people because that is what he wanted. And he is the one who makes everything agree with what he decides and wants."[Ephesians 1:11]
PRAYER: Dear Lord, I know that You have a plan for my life. Help me to do things that please You today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
