Genesis 18:13-15

"Then the LORD said to Abraham, 'Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, "Can an old woman like me have a baby?" Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.'  "Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, 'I didn't laugh.'  But the LORD said, 'No, you did laugh.'"
 
God again confirms that Abraham will have a son through Sarah, only this time the promise is for Sarah's sake. God includes Sarah in the plan, firsthand. God flatly states what will happen, impossible as it is. God repeated his promise to Abraham and Sarah many times until it actually came true. The waiting made it all the more clear that it was God who made it happen. If you too are waiting for God to fulfill his promises, remember that he always fulfills them at a time and in a way that will bring him the most glory.
