This is the sad story of how Sarai decided to take matters not her own hands to fulfil the promises of God and the problems that arose as a result, which are still being lived out today in the Middle East.
It is easy to decide we know best, to take matters into our own hands and try to sort things out for ourselves yet we need to have patience and to wait on God. This is often easier said than done, and I know this from personal experience as I would rather get up and do something, to sort out the problem, rather than sit back and wait.
It is a case of having faith and trusting in God no matter what is going on around us, of believing that God will fulfil whatever he promised, no matter how unlikely it may sound. And after all, since a day is as a thousand years to the Lord, that means that ten years is only 14.4 minutes…..
