Genesis 12:2
Good News Translation (GNT)
2 I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will bless you and make your name famous, so that you will be a blessing.
"Despite this repeated promise, however, Sarah passed the age of child-bearing so that, humanly speaking, it looked as though God had left things too late. His revealed purpose seemed to have gone so far in reverse that it could never be restored. But that is, it seems, precisely how God delights to do things. It is His way to let things go until they look as if there is no way they can be turned around, and then He steps in to ensure that His plans and purposes persist...Hold steady - this is one of Your Father's all-wise, albeit confusing, ways"
