Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him.” – Genesis 21:1-2
Twenty-five years of waiting.
A hundred-year-old father.
A ninety-year-old mother.
And finally, a cry pierces the night.
They named him “Laughter”—
This child of impossibility,
This fulfillment of promise,
This living testimony to God’s faithfulness.
Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter,
And everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
Not laughter of disbelief now,
But laughter of joy overflowing.
The barren womb bears fruit.
The impossible becomes reality.
The long-delayed arrives
“At the very time God had promised.”
God’s timing is never early,
Never late,
But precisely on schedule—
His schedule, not ours.
You may find you are still waiting,
Still wondering if God remembers.
He does. And one day,
Your laughter of doubt will become laughter of joy.
