Genesis 11:30 "Now Sarai was barren, she had no children.
God speaks to a barren, hopeless and helpless situation. God made a powerful call to Abraham. The call was so powerful that it gave Abraham and Sarah the ability to respond to the call. A person in a hopeless and helpless situation needs not only a person to extend a hand but also for that hand to pull them up. Did you realize that God makes a powerful call to each and every person. Because of the sin of Adam and Eve, all humanity are in a hopeless and helpless situation. Maybe not financially, or emotionally, or physically, but at the deepest core of our being, we are helplessly lost without God and his love. Maybe helpless and hopeless because the world speaks loudly. And sometimes the world is so loud that we cannot hear - so we become fearful. But God, through his son Jesus, makes a powerful call to all people. Powerful in the fact that the call doesn’t become louder than the world, but the call is so powerful that it breaks through the noise of the world. It may even whisper, but the whisper is powerful enough to break through the noise of the world. Not only does he make a powerful call to each person, He also empowers and enables each one to respond to his call.
