Is Anything Too Wondrous for HaShem?
The angels revealed to Avraham and Sarah that they would bear a child. Since Sarah was ninety years old and her husband a hundred years old, Sarah smiled to herself, in disbelief. Right afterwards, she was miraculously rejuvenated. As a result, she then believed in HaShem's promise and she sang a song of praise to HaShem. Despite her incomparable holiness, HaShem admonished her for not initially believing the Prophecy.
Lesson: True emunah -- belief in HaShem -- requires us to believe in all of the Torahs' promises, including the Prophecies of the great wonders and miracles that HaShem will perform at the time of our redemption.
App: Strengthen your faith in HaShem's miracles by reviewing and internalizing the verse: "Is anything too wondrous for HaShem -- I will return to you at the appointed time, at an auspicious period, and Sarah will have a son."
(Based on Ohr HaChaim 18:13)
