“And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age. And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.”
The vast majority of our lives consist of ordinary daily occurrences. It is important for us to be faithful in those times even though nothing spectacular is happening. If we are faithful in those times then the Lord will trust us to be faithful in the big things (see Matt 25: 23 “His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”) Abraham Sarah remained faithful to the Lord over many years even though it was just in the day to day tedium of life (see 1 Peter 3: 6). However the Lord intervened in their lives with a spectacular miracle. However after the miracle was over they had to get on with the ordinary day to day events as they had before. Sarah had great joy that she was able to feed her baby but before long she had to get on with her life, even though it would never be the same again, and wean the child. We can all expect to have spectacular mountain top experiences in our lives but we must always be ready to keep going with the mundane and remain faithful in those times as well.
