Four thousand years ago God chose Abraham to be the foundation of God's plan to redeem humanity. God first appeared to Abraham when Abraham was 75 years old and his wife Sarah was 65, and promised that they would have descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky. Twenty-five years later the miraculous child of promise, their son Isaac, was born, and God promised that through Isaac all the nations of the world would be blessed. Sarah laughed for pure joy. Their hopes had been fulfilled. But Abraham's faith in God would be tested.
What do we do, as people of faith, when all our hopes and plans are threatened? When we wonder what God can possibly be thinking? When we ask, as Abraham asked God, "Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
