What Do You Do When God Makes You Wait? | Genesis 12:1-4

<p>What do you do when you’ve been waiting on something for years and nothing seems to change? When hope starts to hurt, it’s easy to wonder if you should take matters into your own hands.</p><p><br></p><p>Abraham and Sarah waited 25 years between God’s promise and its fulfillment—and the years in between were far from easy. Their story shows us the difference between trusting God’s timing and trying to force the outcome ourselves.</p><p><br></p><p>Genesis 12, Genesis 16, and Genesis 21 remind us that faith isn’t always about knowing what God is doing. Sometimes it means staying faithful when you’re exhausted, frustrated, and confused. Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick,” yet Scripture points us toward a deeper hope fulfilled in Jesus.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re tired of waiting, take some time to reflect on what it means to wait well, trust God, and stop trying to control the outcome.</p>
