“And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.”
Abraham gives the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him. The laugh of Genesis 17:17 and 18:12 — the laugh of incredulous impossibility — is now the name of the living fulfillment. The doubt-laugh becomes the name of the promise kept. Zephaniah 3:17 pictures God rejoicing over his people with singing. The application: when God fulfills the impossible promise, what most expressed your doubt becomes the name of the fulfillment.
