MEDITATION

Genesis 18:10-12

10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

11 亚伯拉罕和撒拉年纪老迈，撒拉的月经已断绝了。

12 撒拉心里暗笑，说：“我既已衰败，我主也老迈，岂能有这喜事呢？”
