Genesis 18:14
Bible verse for Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
Genesis 18:14
“Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son."”
— Bible (KJV) · Read Genesis in context
The scene behind the verse
Mamre, Israel (~2000 BC). Abraham's tent under oak trees. Three mysterious visitors have just promised 90-year-old Sarah a baby within a year.
Original language
pālā' (פלא) — to be extraordinary, beyond human ability or understanding
Historical context
Sarah was already past menopause for decades when this promise was made
What most readers miss
This is God's response to Sarah LAUGHING at the promise from inside the tent
Common misconception
People quote this as general motivation, but it was spoken specifically about childbearing to a 90-year-old woman. God isn't promising to do everything we want — He's promising to keep His specific covenant.
