What if God eavesdropped on your heart? Would he hear you sighing and scoffing about impossible situations? Would he see you rolling your eyes at the idea things could change? In this conversation with Hope Blanton and Chris Gordon on the Live Like It’s True Podcast, we’re discussing the day God came to lunch at Sarah’s table, and inviting her to be vulnerable and take a great leap of faith, even when it felt too risky to hope.

Shaped by God’s Promises

God’s promises are like a set of parentheses. The first one is when he makes the promise; the second is when he keeps it. You never have one without the other. But often there’s a much longer stretch between the two than we first imagined.

That’s what we see in Sarah’s story, found in Genesis 12-21. God promised a son, but in that wide stretch between the parentheses, she wondered: Would God keep his promises? Could he?

Come find the answer to those questions–both for Sarah and for yourself–in my new six-week Bible study, titled Shaped by God’s Promises: Lessons From Sarah on Fear and Faith. Find out how you too can be shaped by God’s promises in the waiting.

What Are You Waiting on God For?

Some of God’s promises are for now, and others are for later. So, how do you know which promises to cling to—especially when you’re in a long stretch of waiting on God?

My free “Pray God’s Promises” prayer guide, will help you pray the promises found directly in the Bible. It’s designed to help you sort out which promises are for here and now, and which ones are for later. Praying God’s promises found in your Bible is one of the ways God shapes you by his promises.
