While We Wait: Abraham

While We Wait: Abraham   Abraham was given a promise: to be the father of a nation, which he heard as the promise of a coming son, an heir, progeny. He decided that waiting was too long. From Abraham, we learn one thing not to do while we wait, and that is to adopt a do-it-yourself plan. A form of that for us might be “getting ready for Jesus to come,” as if we could do that! What does that even mean? This week’s #WholeLifeTakeAways: What is your worst or most painful memory of having to wait? What makes you a poor or good waiter? What do you think are some benefits of having to wait for something? Going through COVID19 what waiting has been most frustrating? How do you think you would have reacted in Abraham’s shoes to the initial call? How can you not let waiting paralyze you? How can Abraham’s mistakes, choices, failures encourage you? When have God’s promises gotten fuzzy for you? How can you live life in freedom of the promise? How can you keep the promise in focus that Jesus is coming again? How can you avoid slipping into a do it yourself plan for getting ready for Jesus to come? Which takeaway(s) resonate most with you?
