Our unbelief and distrust are a great offence to the God of heaven. He justly takes it ill to have the objections of sense set up in contradiction to his promise. Here is a question asked which is enough to answer all the cavils of flesh and blood: Is any thing too hard for the Lord? That is, (1.) Is any thing so secret as to escape his cognizance? No, not Sarah’s laughing, though it was only within herself. Or, (2.) Is any thing so difficult as to exceed his power? No, not the giving of a child to Sarah in her old age. We find it difficult to believe a woman can conceive a child in old age, but this is not true. Age is not what determines this. God opens and closes the womb and gives and takes life (see Genesis 20:18).
