Sep 16 - God's promise is a promise

Today's ODB is from Genesis 17, the conversation between God the Abraham. Due to the faith of Abraham, God personally gave him His promise that He will give Abraham a son and make him father of great nations. This was given to Abraham at the age of 100 years-old ! and Sarah was 90 years old too...!"

17 Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?" 18 And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" "

But God's promise is a promise. He won't make empty promises for He is a Holy God and takes things seriously. We are just too narrow in our minds to think what God can do, He is far beyond our imagination and expectation!"

7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you."
