Women of the Word Bible Study: Sarah #4

If you remember from last time, Abraham had fallen face down, laughing at the thought of having a child at 100 years old with his barren wife. But God was not joking. He said that Sarah would, indeed, have a son within the year and they were to name him Isaac.

Soon after, Sarah and Abraham had three visitors. There is MUCH discussion on who these men were. God and two angels. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Three completely different angels. Whoever they were - they were heavenly! The husband and wife jumped into high gear being hospitable and turning out the finest fare. Sarah overheard one of these men saying:

“I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”

Now it was Sarah's turn to laugh! It seems she laughed quietly to herself, but God heard her! He asked why she had laughed and then she lied to Him! Can you imagine? But this is one of my favorite parts of the Bible! After she laughs and then lies - God calls her bluff!!! He says:

"Yes, you did laugh"

Wow. She was caught. I can't even imagine how she felt after that! Being caught laughing and lying right to God! But you know what? He still loved her ...... and He would STILL bless her!

So many times we are worried that we are not perfect and make too many mistakes to be loved by God. For Him to approve of us. For Him to still want to be by our side and bless us. But right in the Bible, Sarah is proof that God WILL love us - even when we make mistakes.

Let's move on to a few freebies from around the web!

I found some lovely free printable prayer cards on Sarah Frazer's blog. These would be beautiful to add to your Bible notebook or journal!

A super cute traceable to journal in your Bible. Or cut them out and color to add to a junk journal, a letter, etc. This is from Worthy Written Words.
