Sarah, Mother of Nations

3/15/2013

  Why is it that we hear of Abraham, the father of many nations, but not Sarah, the mother of nations?  It really does say that in Scripture.  She will be the mother of nations and kings of peoples will come from her (Genesis 17:16).  God did not neglect to mention Sarah; why do we?
  Both Abraham and Sarah face a promise from God which seems absolutely impossible - they will have a son.  They question it.  They struggle with it.  Abraham even rolls on the ground laughing at the very thought.  Even so, God doesn't change his mind about using Abrahm and Sarah as the founding parents of the covenant.
  Today's reflection question is:  What promise has God made to us that seems entirely impossible?
  Let us pray.  Father of impossibilities, open our eyes that we may see the fulfillment of your promises.

What a wonderful reflection for today. How often we "sell God short" regarding those things He has promised us and generously and graciously pour over us. I ask God today, to cure my blindness to all He has promised me and pours over me.

Thank you, Barbara. There are so many promises that God makes to us. That's one of the reasons I love reading Paul's letters. They are so positive about what we can do.

    I started this website and blog on May 1, 2012.  I am a Catholic who has been in ministry for many years.  I first developed what I would call a close relationship with Jesus in the early 1970s.   Ever since then I have been praying with people for healing and other needs.  It is because I have seen so many of these prayers answered that I am so bold as to offer to pray for you individually through this website and phone line. 

    May all who see this site and read the blog find it inspirational and helpful and may it lead you closer to Jesus.

    If you would like to donate to keep the ministry going, please visit the home page where there is a PayPal button.
