In reply to Sarah. Yes, I liked how God has compassion on Sarah for her doubts. He realizes perhaps that they were perfectly reasonable, and so does not punish her for her disbelief as he punished Zechariah who doubted that Elizabeth would have a child when old!

I have a quiet, private theory that faith is brought to birth when we encounter God for the first time. It lays softly in the secret corners of our soul, apparently weak yet fully prepared. When a strange command is given somewhere in heaven, it is ready, breaking forth in completed power to do battle with our unbelief, shallowness and apathy. The lone horseman takes the standard, rides to the heart of the enemy encampment, plants it hard and proclaims that that which was stolen from us is now being taken back.

I have a soft spot for this story – must be because we share the same name! A lovely reminder that God is always faithful and works in his own time – thanks x
