The Birth of Isaac
1 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto
Sarah as he had spoken.
The fulfilling of God's promise in the conception
and birth of Isaac, Ge 21:1, 2. Note, God's providences look best and brightest when they are compared with his word, and when we observe how God, in them all, acts as he has said, as he has spoken.
1. Isaac was born according to the promise. The Lord visited Sarah in mercy, as he had said. Note, No word of God shall fall to the ground; for he is
faithful that has promised, and God's faithfulness is the stay and support of his people's faith. He was born at the set time of which God had spoken, Ge 21:2. Note, God is always punctual to his time; though his promised mercies come not at the time we set, they will certainly come at the time he sets, and that is the best time.
2. He was born by virtue of the promise: Sarah by faith received strength to conceive Heb 11:11.
