An old man


After Galatians 3:1-9
 

An old man, 75,

a barren wife,

no earthly hope

for children,

for an heir.

And he’s told

his descendants

will outnumber

the grains of sand

on the seashore.

We might be

excused our smiles,

our doubts, but

even we can see

across two-and-a-half

millennia that it was

his faith that 

mattered.

He believed.

He was blessed.
