THE HEART OF MAN
Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
Still looking at the heart, we see here that even good men have problems with there hearts. The Bible tells us later that man's heart is deceitful and wicked, and we can see this in this passage. Abraham believed what God had said about making him a great nation, yet when God tells him that He is still going to make this happen, Abraham laughs. Abraham was old, and his wife was old, the natural man could not have made either of them able to have children. Because of this Abraham mocked God in his heart. Our hearts don't really understand the workings of God, but He is not bound by our lack of belief. God can do whatever it takes to get the job done, and He doesn't need us to tell Him how to work. Abraham went so far as to ask God to fulfill His promise through Ishmael. When God says something is going to happen. MARK IT DOWN!! IT WILL HAPPEN! EVEN IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GOD WILL WORK, HE WILL FULFILL EVERY PROMISE TO US COMPLETELY.
