“Forever Young”
Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Most of us associate having children with being young. You’ve probably said, or heard someone say: it’s a good thing we have children when we’re young, otherwise we couldn’t keep up. We have a tendency to put some things into the category of being “young,” and some things into the category of being “old.” And having children definitely belongs in the category, “young.” But we have other categories, some for God. The things we think God does and should do; the things we think God doesn’t and shouldn’t do. And all of it is based on what we can see. We see bad things and think thoughts against God; we see good things and think thoughts in favor of God. But who, in the history of this world, has ever had a life planned out and nothing ever deviated from that plan or destroyed it? You don’t know and cannot say what will happen. Neither could Abraham.
