"Then God said to Abraham, 'Regarding Sarai, your wife—her name will no longer be Sarai. From now on her name will be Sarah. And I will bless her and give you a son from her! Yes, I will bless her richly, and she will become the mother of many nations. Kings of nations will be among her descendants.'"
When God made his covenant with Abraham, he also made it with Sarah. God treated her with equal honor, changing her name, too, saying she would be the mother of many nations and kings would descend from her, just as he promised Abraham. She too was a key part of God's grand plan. From the beginning of God's plan, woman was an equal partner with the man. Male and female God made us, and male and female are called to participate in God's work. Never shortchange yourself if you're female. God doesn't.
