Genesis 21:6 “And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all that hear will laugh with me.”
Genesis 21:6 “And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.” (BBE)
Yesterday we considered what it means to wait for God’s set time but today I just want to show you what you stand to gain when you wait on God.
One major advantage of waiting for God’s time is Laughter which is usually accompanied by merriment; jollity and gaiety. This is the state of being happy. King Solomon said:
Proverbs 10:22 “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”
One thing that characterises the blessing of the Lord is joy unspeakable. When you wait for God you cannot but laugh. Sarah laughed and laughed and decided to call the child laughter.
In case you get that long awaited miracle and you are not smiling or “shedding tears of joy”, you might need to consider and reconsider your process. You might have missed God somewhere along the line.
God’s gifts brings joy and laughter not otherwise. When you wait patiently for God’s perfect time he gives you Isaac.
Sarah concluded by saying, “…all that hear will laugh with me.” Another reason Sarah laughed was because Isaac, which is her testimony silenced her mockers. Remember what transpired earlier between Sarah and Hagar:
Genesis 16:4 “And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.”
Friend, in 2017, the Lord will give you a testimony that will silence everyone that has mocked or despised you in Jesus name. For your shame the Lord will give you double.
The same people that laughed AT Sarah came back and laughed WITH her. If you can wait for God’s intervention, your testimony will happen in grand style.
Don’t lose faith, your Isaac is on the way!
