Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.

The Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did to Sarah as he had promised.

The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised.

The LORD came to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised.

Then the Lord took note of Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised.

And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken.

And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

The Lord came to Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what He had promised.

And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

The LORD visited Sarah just as he had said he would and did for Sarah what he had promised.

Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh did to Sarah as he had spoken.

Then one of them said,“ I will surely return to you about this time next year. Your wife Sarah will have a son.” Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.

Is anything too hard for me? I will return to you at the appointed time next year. Sarah will have a son.”

Abraham’s son by the slave woman was born in the usual way. But his son by the free woman was born because of God’s promise.

Then God said,“ Yes, I will bless Ishmael. But your wife Sarah will have a son by you. And you will name him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him. That covenant will last forever. It will be for Isaac and his family after him.

The Lord was gracious to Hannah. Over a period of years she had three more sons and two daughters. During that whole time the boy Samuel grew up serving the Lord.

While Naomi was in Moab, she heard that the Lord had helped his people. He had begun to provide food for them again. So Naomi and her two daughters- in- law prepared to go from Moab back to her home.

That belief and understanding lead to the hope of eternal life. Before time began, God promised to give that life. And he does not lie.

Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will never pass away.

The words of the Lord are perfect. They are like silver made pure in a clay furnace. They are like gold made pure seven times over.

It is written,“ I have made you a father of many nations.”( Genesis 17:5) God considers Abraham to be our father. The God that Abraham believed in gives life to the dead. Abraham’s God also creates things that did not exist before.When there was no reason for hope, Abraham believed because he had hope. He became the father of many nations, exactly as God had promised. God said,“ That is how many children you will have.”( Genesis 15:5)Abraham did not become weak in his faith. He accepted the fact that he was past the time when he could have children. At that time Abraham was about 100 years old. He also realized that Sarah was too old to have children.But Abraham kept believing in God’s promise. He became strong in his faith. He gave glory to God.

I will give her my blessing. You can be sure that I will give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations. Kings of nations will come from her.”

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac. By this time next year, Sarah will have a son by you.”

Brothers and sisters, you are children because of God’s promise just as Isaac was.

Lord, remember me when you bless your people. Help me when you save them.

You didn’t recognize the time when God came to you. So your enemies will smash you to the ground. They will destroy you and all the people inside your walls. They will not leave one stone on top of another.”

And they believed. They heard that the Lord was concerned about them. He had seen their suffering. So they bowed down and worshiped him.

Joseph said to his brothers,“ I’m about to die. But God will surely come to help you. He’ll take you up out of this land. He’ll bring you to the land he promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”

“ Give praise to the Lord, the God of Israel! He has come to his people and purchased their freedom.

Do not bow down to them or worship them. I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I cause the sins of the parents to affect their children. I will cause the sins of those who hate me to affect even their grandchildren and great- grandchildren.

“ Go. Gather the elders of Israel together. Say to them,‘ The Lord, the God of your fathers, appeared to me. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God said,“ I have watched over you. I have seen what the Egyptians have done to you.
