6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”
Just thought this was funny, thinking of Sarah just kind of chuckling to herself almost in disbelief can you believe it. He said he'd give me a child but seriously I'm so old this is just dumb Denny. Everyone will recognize this must be a miracle because this is just too crazy.

I like the laughter part.....Humor is really funny when you're laughing at yourself!
ReplyDelete13 I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.”
Here's another reference to God turning Ishmael into a great nation (Islam). What's important for me to remember here is that God states that he was with him....in other words, even though Abraham made a decision to not trust God and sleep with his slave for an offspring, doesn't mean that its all evil. God is with the nation of Islam.....its just constantly a turbulent relationship with their Christian counterparts. Now to me, the major difference comes in Jesus. The nation of Islam doesn't recognize Jesus as the saviour. That's where they go wrong. But, this is interesting to me, to understand the history of the 2 nations, and the relationship between the 2.
