Genesis 18:16
"Then Sarah denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”"
Key Reflection
Sarah's denial and subsequent admission reveal her initial hesitation to believe the promise of a child in old age, driven by fear. Her laughter, though denied, symbolizes the human tendency to doubt divine promises, even when faith is present.
