GEN 17:17-22 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?18 And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!19 And God said, Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Most of the times when deadlines are set , they are to be adhered to strictly for a smooth running of whatever institution it is. A deadline is meant to ensure that work does not stall and at the same time assists in evaluation of ones performance. Likewise, life has a tendency of setting deadlines for us .
Sarah had surpassed her child bearing age and given up hope of ever having a child of her own and consequently banked on Hagar as a foster parent.
Like Sarah, may all the deadlines imposed on you become lifelines and when people see your dead end, May God work out a way for you to succeed. God is not limited by human laws or the laws of nature. Whatever looks like Lost opportunity may just be a way for God to show you He controls Everything.
