The Promise and the Long Wait: Abraham and Sarah
*Faces of the Fast series* – _The Promise and the Long Wait: Abraham & Sarah_
🕯️ God took Abraham outside in the dark. “Look up”, He said. “Count the stars if you can.”
Abraham was old. Childless. Twenty-five years into a promise that had not yet been fulfilled. He looked up at the sky and chose to believe.
Not because the evidence supported it. Because he had chosen to orient himself toward the One who had spoken rather than toward everything that contradicted it.
The fourth reflection in Faces of the Fast is now on the blog. We move into Movement II of the series today.
On Abraham and Sarah. On the long wait. On the laughter that was not the last word. On what it means to stand under the stars and say: I believe.
It is a reflection for anyone who has been carrying something for a long time and has not yet seen it fulfilled. For anyone in the middle weeks of Lent when the freshness has worn off and the destination still feels distant.
The One who made the promise is the same One who pointed Abraham to the stars.
_Walking from Eden to the Upper Room. One biblical face at a time._ 🕯️
