The Laugh Within the Promise

Genesis 18:12-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 18 in context

Scripture Focus

12Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
15Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Genesis 18:12-15

Biblical Context

Sarah laughs at the idea of bearing a child in her old age. God declares that nothing is too hard for the LORD and promises a son in due season.

Neville's Inner Vision

Sarah is the state of consciousness in you that laughs at the unseen, clinging to age and circumstance. The LORD's question—Is anything too hard for the I AM?—is God within whispering a reminder that you are the creator of your scenes. When you hear that invitation, you stand at the threshold of promise and doubt and choose to act from the inner sense that you already possess what you seek. The promised son is not an external child but the inner realization your awareness births when it beholds its own power to fulfill. The appointed time is the moment you shift your assumption, returning to the life of the present act of imagination. If you revise memory to accept the improbable as already done, fear becomes reverence, and time loosens its grip. You are asked to live from the end—feel the joy, see the scene, and let the feeling realign the outer world with your inner conviction. In this revision, the inner laugh becomes confirmation, and the future unfolds as your present now.

Practice This Now

Close the eyes and assume the feeling of the fulfilled promise as already real; silently declare, 'Is anything too hard for the LORD?', and dwell in the sense of the I AM seeing the imagined son as present.
