God promised Abraham that his descendants would be great. (Genesis 12:2, 17:4)  Abraham was getting older and wondering if this promise was really going to happen.  When God again made this promise to Abraham (17:16), he laughed and questioned to himself how this could happen to a man who was a hundred years old and a woman who was ninety. (17:17)  Sarah also laughed when she heard this promise. (18:12)  God works in ways we sometimes do not understand, but He always keeps His promises.
