God also said to Abraham, ‘As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.’ – Genesis 17:15-16
Abraham fell facedown.
He laughed.
“Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old?
Will Sarah bear a child at ninety?”
The promise seemed absurd.
Biology said impossible.
Logic said unreasonable.
Experience said unprecedented.
Yet God renamed Sarai—
From “my princess” to “princess of many”—
Before the promise manifested,
Before the womb quickened.
God spoke of what would be
As if it already was.
He saw Sarah’s barrenness
And declared her mother of nations.
How often we limit God
To what seems reasonable,
To what seems possible,
To what has precedent.
We laugh at His promises,
Not in joy but in doubt.
We question His timing,
Not in faith but in fear.
Yet the God who renamed Sarah
Before she conceived
Is still the God who sees
What we cannot yet imagine.
Your Monday may hold situations that seem impossible.
Remember: God specializes in the absurd math of miracles.
