Genesis 17:21

"But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto you at this set time in the next year." - Genesis 17:21

If this verse can teach us anything about God, it shouts that God knows the future and whispers to us that God knows the past and present. We could go even further than that and say this verse teaches us another thing. This verse shows us something of the power of God. It gives us a glimpse of what God meant when He said "I am the Almighty God." Men usually like to talk about the "free will of man" but this verse shows us the "free will of God;" that He does what He wants in the heavens and in the earth.
