Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh." Genesis 18:15 NIV
Sarah couldn’t believe God’s plan for her life was to have a child. She was so old. It had been so long. Could God even use someone like her?
Sarah’s probably not alone in her fear. I’ve had those kinds of fears. Chances are you have also. You know God is calling you to do something, but the thought of actually obeying God in the matter freaks you out; scares you to death.
Faith believes something that you cannot see. The unseen or unknown is scary, so fear is a natural reaction to God’s plan for your life. God calls us to the unknown. His plans are usually larger than we might have imagined. God calls us to walk by faith, facing something we cannot see, and that in turn brings fear into our hearts.
So, what’s the fear that will require faith for you to accomplish? If you are obedient, what kind of glory will God receive through your faith in Him?
Don’t laugh (or at least not for long). God calls people to tasks beyond our ability or understanding everyday! Maybe today’s your day!

I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
