Genesis 21:1-7

At last Isaac is born. The fruit of God's promise came purely as a result of His grace. Things happened just as God has said they would, despite the fact that Abraham and Sarah were both old. Age is no obstacle to God fulfilling his promises.

Abraham named his son Isaac, again as God had instructed him, and circumcised Isaac on the eighth day. When God does fulfil His promises it is important that we carry out any concomitant instructions that He gave us.

Before the laughs had been laughter of disbelief, now it is laughter of joy and amazement. The impossible had happened.
