Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem








Character Studies From The Bible







Sarah

New International Version (NIV)

15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”

17 Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!”

19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.” 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

(Genesis 17)

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






We see some more of Abram's "bargaining with God" in this passage, and believe me, there is MORE of that to come! We are astounded at his audacity in the presence of the Almighty!

As we continue to look at Abram and Sarai, we see their faith growing. Instead of scheming to do God's work for Him, they chuckle at the thought of a ninety year old woman giving birth (and probably what had to occur before that could happen!). Their laughter is forever enshrined in the name God chooses for their son, which means the same as "hahaha" or even "LOL".

This is a pivotal moment for this elderly couple, as God changes both of their names, adding the "H" sound to make it AbraHam and SaraH. The "H" is also the main letter in the Name of God (YAHWEH) and symbolizes the Breath of Life. The word for "Spirit" in both Hebrew and Greek (Ruach and Pneuma, respectively), also mean "Wind" or "Breath". (We get the words "Pneumatic" and Pneumonia" from the Greek word). For some scholars, this name change was indicative of God making Abraham and Sarah His Own, and filling them with His Spirit.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

One of my favorite Hebrew Folk Songs starts with the phrase: "The wind is so cool in the night". The word used for "Wind" is Ruach.
