Abraham, Issac, and Jacob- Genesis 17
I think it's pretty funny that God waited until Abraham was 99 years old to fulfill His promise. He obviously really wanted to test his faith. I find it amazing that even thought Abraham did laugh at God when the promise was revealed, He ultimately believed Him. I feel like if i was in the same situation I would've not believed it for a second; I would have thought it too good to be true. But Abraham did. And not only did he believe, he immediately did something that God asked him to do, even though I'm sure it wasn't pleasant. My reaction probably would've been like "Sure God. Ok. Maybe I'll have a kid. And I'll get around to doing that annoying task you asked of me when I get the change." Abraham's reaction demonstrates the true response we should have to God.
