"And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?/Is any thing too hard for the Lord? "
The voice of the Lord came from among the three men and even when they wended in the direction of Sodom the voice stayed back." And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord./And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?" This voice is the spirit of Christ or the Angel of His presence at time is the still small voice we hear, convicting us lest we be entangled therein. Isaiah speaks of it, " And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." . The prophet refers in the same passage of the blessing assured to all this who walk by faith and no by sight. "For the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him." As was with Abraham though designated as the father of many nations, he was to live as pilgrim and sojourner we are all heading towards heavenly city, "For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee."(Isa.30.18-21). This was the promise to Abraham in his Son.
Sarai was hidden inside the tent.Yet God heard her laugh, " Therefore Sarah laughed within herself,..." An insignificant detail is it not while a nation is being torched away from existence? No nations are anything to God as man cast after our image and after our likeness. "All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.:(Isa.40.17) Sarai may deny it, " I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh." Our murmuring is like whisper in his ears. God catches hypocrites in their Jesus talk.
