Three visitors came and said that Sarah would have a son next year. Sarah laughed within herself at this promise. Sodom was very evil; Abraham pleaded with the LORD for the city.
"The problem was that Sarah’s laughter reflected her unbelief in the promise of God. By nature we all trust in ourselves most of the time, and in God only when we really have to. If we trust in ourselves, then we glory in ourselves. But God’s purpose is that we glory in Him alone. So through various means He graciously brings us to the place where we have no hope except in Him, so that we trust in Him and He gets the glory."
