Judging God


Hebrews 11:11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

At ninety years of age, Sara was told she would have a baby boy. Can you imagine the thoughts rushing through her mind?  Most of the time the thoughts of an expecting mother are... What will my baby look like? Will he/she come early or late? I don't care, just as long as they are healthy. Speaking of they, I wonder if it will be twins. The thoughts just keep coming. 

Although I'm sure at sometime or another Sara thought about these same questions, she probably gave more attention upon one of them. How in this world can I conceive a child when I'm so old. Most of us would say there is no way this could happen. Even Sara laughed about what God said while she was inside of her tent. 

But then Sara judged God. She came to a conclusion about her God. She said, "He is faithful!"  If God has promised her a son, then He will preform the miracle to get him here. 

How do you judge God this morning?  What do you say about Him? With the world always telling everyone not to judge, I say how do you judge God?  He can do great miracles. Sara knows!  She judged him faithful who had promised. Thank you Lord for your promises.
