Good Sunday Evening!
Got up this morning and went to 9:30 service, my Pastor Vann taught from the book of Genesis. Abraham and Sarah! How God promised them a son, but as Sarah started becoming old, she felt as though she wouldn’t have a child. So she took it upon herself to “help God†and decided that she was going to give her husband permission to have relations with Hagar, her maid, so that God’s promise would come to past.
Well, after Hagar conceived, she started to look down on Sarah. God came to Sarah again and said:
Genesis 21
1 Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac [a] to the son Sarah bore him. 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” 7 And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
With that said…….we’ve got to stop trying to help God with the process of what he already promised us. There’s a situation going on in my life, where I called myself hoping it would happen but end up“helping God†and end up messing things up for myself, and here I sit… sick about it. But you know what? Not anymore! I have made amends and I am letting it go, just as it was told to me by this person. So, I say all of this to say, if God has already promised you something, quit trying to help him, help you get it done faster. God don’t need help, he is God, and God alone.
Yeah, I learned a lesson over the week, but you know what? If I could stop you from making the same mistakes………..PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE. Let God do his work and you do yours!
