Genesis 21:1

Key Reflection

Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. For the original audience, this verse encapsulates the fulfillment of God’s promise, which had been doubted for years as Abraham and Sarah grew older. The timing mentioned—“at the set time”—signifies divine intervention and faithfulness, highlighting how God’s plan unfolds precisely when all seemed impossible.
