Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.
How disappointing. Generation after generation each first born is mentioned and their first born is mentioned after that. And now we have an interruption. Terahs first born son, Abraham, has a wife, Sarai, who is unable to conceive. Can you imagine the devastation? This goes far beyond just wanting to have a child, this is the carrying on of a legacy. His brother will take his place in the family line. Who could have guessed what God had in store for the line of Abraham.
Lord, your plans are perfect. Help us to not get bogged down in our disappointments, but to see beyond them, react well, be patient and look for your will. Amen.
