Spiritual Strength For Each Day
“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her” (Genesis 17:15-16).
After the Lord gave Abram his new name, in the same chapter He turns to Sarai. In other words, “Abraham, your wife is also included!” The name Sarah has a lovely meaning: “princess.” The wonderful thing is that Abraham and Sarah were satisfied with the Word of God alone, without seeing, without feeling and without experiencing. This is the faith we need in our day. His Word, His promise, should be enough for us. Abraham and Sarah believed, the Lord renewed them, and they became father and mother of many nations. The Lord wants to do this in your life also. What good is the name “Christian” if you do not want to bear the cross of Christ? You must obey the Word and take your discipleship seriously, and then you will be fruitful and your spiritual life will be multiplied.
