Gen_21:6-7

Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh

The rejoicing of Isaac’s birth

I.

IT WAS THE REWARD OF FAITH AND PATIENCE.

II. IT WAS HAILED WITH A SONG OF GRATITUDE.

1. There was an element of amazement and wonder.

2. There was an element touchingly human.

3. There was a confident expectation of universal sympathy. “All that hear will laugh with me.”

4. There was an acknowledgment of the Divine source of the joy. “God hath made me to laugh.” (T. H. Leale.)
