Abraham & Sarah

Genesis 12, 16

Key Point:  We are called to have faith even when it appears God is slow or even withholding His promises

Reading the OT sagas:

Level 1 (”peshat”) = simple series of facts;

Level 2(”remez”) = connections;

Level 3 (”drash”) = meaning;

Level 4 (”sod”) = mystical understanding.

Read as “never-ending story”

God’s will often unfolds in stages – despite a promise of final fulfillment

“Abram believed the Lord, and He credited to him as righteousness.”[Genesis 15:6]

When have you felt like God was slow in fulfilling His promises?
