The Lord Will

Genesis 21:2

β€œFor Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 21

Meaning

The emphasis falls on the promised son arriving at the appointed time despite the couple's advanced age.

Read carefully

The exceptional conception belongs to this particular biblical narrative and is not a medical forecast or general rule for fertility.

Reflection

The verse portrays delayed promise fulfilled, while readers should resist using it to judge those whose hopes remain unanswered.
